If you are refering to the line from Salamanca to Dunkirk, The track from Salamanca to South Dayton is cut and most of it is pulled up. I road an excursion in 1981 from Salamanca to Little Valley. The cut in South Dayton was done last summer when they rebuilt the highway (US 62) through town. The piece from Gowanda down to Conowango is still in use as there is a customer on that end of the line. Dunkirk south to Fredonia has been gone for 50 years or better. New York and Lake Erie only runs Conowongo to Gowanda on the old Erie, and Buffalo Southern runs to Blaisdale from Gowanda through N. Collens and Eden. The CR main fron Buffalo to Erie was a New York Central Route. The only active piece South of Dunkirk runs down to Fredonia to Lyle Redwing and Welches at US20 about 3-miles. It runs by the fairgrounds.
