Climbing

Headed back to Rochester
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.
