NYC DICCS map 1965 Rochester Zone Q |
| Description: |
The single track Charlotte line is all that remains today. Everything else is ripped up, paved over or buried in the weeds. Hague, Murray, Child and Whitney streets were crossings at grade level. The Abandon rose at that point and bridges carried the line over Orchard, Broad (mistakenly labeled as "Mague" on the DICCS), the canal, Moore and Oak streets. After Oak St., the line dropped down to grade level on its way to the Kent St. yard. |

These are great for reference, if not entirely accurate - "Nichols Weyman" and "Nicholas Weyman" should be 'Nichols-Wyman' I believe. |

Saturday unit train (coal) to Kodak - 1 of 2 - September 1965 |
| Description: |
With a whopping all-Alco 7-unit A-B-A-B-B-B-A lashup, the crew finished with Kodak, then headed north to Charlotte. This is the return trip in the afternoon at the Dewey Ave. crossing. Note the Chevron sign in the background, just over the 50's Pontiac. This is the last round-up for NYC Alco FAs and FBs. Most did not make it into PC. |

| Description: |
Date approximate. With their retrieved train now in tow, 9900 & 9911 are about to cross Dewey Ave. 9900 really is an odd duck with the steam generator and pilot stripes - it must have had an interesting life before handling local freight. The Barnard Service & Supply Company (right) property is now part of the adjacent cemetery. |

RS3s on the 1st Belt - summer of 1970 - 1 of 3 |
| Description: |
Date approximate. First Belt is pulling across Ridge Road in this summer shot. The B&O is over on the right. Notice the autos patiently waiting at the B&O lights (no crossing arms until the massive Ridge Rd. rebuilding years later...). The RS3s are relatively new on 1st Belt assignments (for some of us anyway) and have started to push out the older RS1s in local service. Later, they too would be supplanted, then by first generation EMDs. |

RS3s on the 1st Belt - summer of 1970 - 2 of 3 |
| Description: |
Date approximate. The brakie is getting ready to drop off at the switch, not at the one in the foreground however, but at the one for the Kodak lead, still a few car lengths beyond the front of the train. NYC (PC) 9901 made it into PC paint, but didn't make it into the next decade. The stub track is a leftover from when the two sidings (now both south of the Ridge) once extended across the Ridge. Those two sidings, plus a team track (on the other side of the train) and a lumber yard spur (this side) account for why the Kodak lead switch is so far down. All is gone today except for the main and the Kodak lead. |

PC 1775 and others in 1972 - shot 1 of 3 |
| Description: |
This shot is from February 1972 in the PC days. I'm standing a few hundred feet south of Ridge Rd. on the east side of the NYC, pointing the camera north. What looks to be structure on the extreme right is actually the billboard close to the Ridge, so that should give you an idea of the location and distance. B&O 6541 and 5928 are waiting patiently on the B&O main for the Kodak security guard to arrive and open up the gate. The 1st Belt job is returning from Charlotte with F's 1775, 1784 and ? running elephant style and GP9B 3827 tucked in the rear. RS-1's were the norm in the '60s, followed briefly by RS2/3's. Before the second generation Alcos (RS-32 and similar) arrived, PC got their monies' worth out of the last of the first generation EMDs by putting them in local service. F7A-GP9B-F7A lash-ups were common on Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse local jobs. |

PC 9608 looking south from Jay Street - 2 of 3 |
| Description: |
OK, so where was that lead? It's all gone today - only the 490 bridge remains. The lead may be gone, but the Charlotte Runner is still there: As a point of reference, I mated up my photo with a screen grab of a Charlie Ricker image (off railroad.net) of obviously newer vintage to indicate the relationship. The two photos share the same concrete bridge support under the 490 overpass. More from DRBrown: ".. right in that area were several sizable customers in NYC days. South of Maple Ave, west of the track, was Tobin Packing which used to get cars of hogs. South of what is now I-490, the Water Tower Industrial Building used to be Yawman and Erbe. And between 490 and Maple, east of the track, was Castle-Hanson, which was a manufacturer of glass bottles and jars - they received cars of silica, limestone and whatever else goes into making glass. And south of Maple, east of the track was Flanigan Furniture, who received by rail back then. And there were many more - rail customers were right next door to each other right on down the line, one after another. Each afternoon, the parade of locals would come dragging into Goodman Street from the west side - the Kent Street KS2, YT-1 from over by the B&O/PRR, KS4 from the Subway when it was NYC's turn to operate that. Cars from Otis. Anywhere from 20 to 40, sometimes more, cars on each." (Edited) [photo date approximate] |

PC 9608 looking south from Jay Street - 1 of 3 |
| Description: |
My photo, with DRBrown description: "Castle-Hanson was not served off the main, it was served off a long lead which started off the Charlotte Branch well north of Jay Street. At the time the DICCS maps were drawn in 1964, this lead had an inside switch still north of Jay Street, which led to the east and served Rosenbaum Brothers and Mundet Cork, both north of Jay Street, and the crossed the road to serve Dolomite Glass Fibers. Going back to that lead, it crossed Jay St., went south and had a switch to Castle-Hanson which is where the 9608 is in the photo. That lead then crossed Maple St and dead ended at Ritter Co., which was later Flanagan Furniture. Castle-Hanson had 3 tracks, actually 4 since they also worked off that long lead." (Edited) [photo date approximate] More: Apparently Castle-Hanson was the former Reed Glass Company. The Castle-Hanson plant at Rochester was eventually purchased by (or became part of) Leone Industries, based in Bridgeton, New Jersey. |

Hojack swing bridge |
| Description: |
Date approximate. This view is from the Lake Ave. bridge looking to the east. The swing bridge is closed (to river traffic) and aligned for rail. The two tracks of East yard are visible through the bridge on the Summerville (West Irondequoit) side of the river. On the left, a cut of empty hoppers are shoved into one of the port leads. Today's Charlotte Runner is out of sight on the right (curving to the south). Everything in this photo is gone today. |
