BNY#12 meets the shortline Tioga Central's SW#1.

Crossing Route 251 and entering the R&GV Railroad Museum yard

#12 reaches the R&GV Railroad Museum and is parked on the yard over the museum's tracks ready for unloading as soon as the tractor escapes and the ramp put back in place.

With the tractor escaped, the ramp can be taken off the trailer and re-assembled.
The ramp is moved into place.


Museum members place wood blocks under the ramp to reinforce it.
