Back at the beginning of October, I had to make a decision about a vacation day this month- should I pick Friday 11/14 or 11/21? Well, unless you've been living under a rock, we ll know tomorrow will NOT be a good to be trackside in upstate NY. The heavy snow in Buffalo continues to be a bottleneck. Fortunately, I chose last Friday (11/14) to spend with trains right here in the Rochester area.
The primary subject of my photography was the Rochester & Southern. I intended to chase local GW1 down to a salt mine, but the train didn't run that day. However, I did catch local BL1 returning from a run to Leroy and Pavillion.
