"Heading South..." (241K
MP3)
It is a cold winter night. LA&L. ALCO C425 #425 and
ALCO C420 #420 are southbound along the former Erie Railroad
Rochester Division headed toward Avon Yard where they
have some switching to do before heading to Lakeville.
The railroad comes close to East River Road at one point
and crosses a private driveway with two entrances. We
hear them approach, whistle for both crossings and pass
us by at track speed.

LA&L ALCO C425 #425 and ALCO C420 #420 have just brought their train into
Avon yard from Rochester. A quick switch and the road train is reassembled.
We pick up with the two big ALCO's idling next to the Avon Erie Railroad depot
only to quickly have them start to lift their train up the grade toward Lakeville.

In
memorial to the events of September 11, 2001, Eastman

which runs Kodak's power plants, blew the Kodak Park steam whiste twice at two
different times corresponding to events of the year before. The whistle is located
on top of one of Kodak's power plants. It is a 3 bell, gong whistle that stands
nearly five feet tall. It is the original plant whistle, but is now only blown
for special occasions.
