In today's video, our cameras returned to the well known railroad town of Salamanca, New York. This day in particular, we would follow around the Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad’s SARE job, with an ex-B&O GP38, as well as a Penn Central SW1500 end cab switcher. Learn about what ballast is, and how it plays a crucial part in how railroading works, and watch maintenance crews dump and spread ballast around Ashford Junction.
Afterwards, we set out to find endangered ALCo C430 locomotives on the Western New York & Pennsylvania Railroad. We get to Olean, NY to find EMD GP15 replacements already on the property, as well as some of the last GE AC6000 models on the WNYP sitting outside the engine shops. We watch the crew for the Farmers Valley Turn, OL-2, start up the 1947 built ALCo's, and then chase them down to the wax plant at sunset.
