Just before the new decade began, Penn Rail Videos took a short, but epic adventure to the Empire State. In this video, we'll see the operations of the Bath & Hammondsport Rail Corporation. We'll begin our day at the Cohocton, NY shops; the temperature was only 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Nevertheless, trains run in all weather conditions, and Penn Rail Videos was on hand to capture this pair of ALCO C424m's, as they head south towards Bath and eventually to Painted Post, NY, where the B&H interchanges with NS. Unfortunately, we will not see that in this video. The B&H Rail Corp. is a sister railroad to the Livonia Avon & Lakeville Railway, which also has ties to the Western New York & Pennsylvania Railroad. If you like ALCOs, then this is a video clip that you won't want to miss.

Why did they stop at the crossings in Avoca?

[CSX6000]

@csxketh1 The crossings are un-protected.

Hey CSX6000,

Great video. Thanks. Liked the wintry scenery as background. BTW, we see CSX freight cars leased to the western RRs out here in the far west (CA and NV).

My favorite railroad is the Santa Fe with the western scenery. But, I also reminisce about the fallen flags such as Lehigh Valley, Erie Lackawanna, and of course the Pennsylvania RR.
