The Rochester & Southern local is climbing up from the old B&O, now the R&S line to Rochester. It has a way to go, and the steepness of the connection is obvious in this telephoto view. |

| Title: |
Headed back to Rochester |
| Description: |
The one and only R&S train I ever saw has completed its work at Silver Springs and is now headed back to Rochester. It is passing the signals at CP Silver Springs, and will shortly diverge from the Southern Tier Line. The hand me down power was typical of R&S in that era, and the ex NW unit is giving away its heritage beneath the B&P stenciling. |
