Request for Info: Current train ops on ex-Erie Southern Tier Mainline in Canisteo River Valley
Posted by JAC2 on Monday, August 3, 2020 10:51 AM

Hi all,

Thanks to listening Brian Solomon's podcasts and the recent columns by him and Bill Stephens, I am thinking about taking a drive from Rochester to the Southern Tier of New York State, specifically the Canisteo River Valley and the ex-Erie mainline 

Wondering if anyone can share information about current operations on the old Erie southern tier route between Hornell and Corning, NY? I am interested in number of trains and general times they show up along in the middle of the route.  Any recommended accesible spots to watch trains would be appreciated.   I would be spending around 3 or 4 hours on the line between the two cities,  mostly along the river. (I will be going regardless but hope to catch at least one train.)

Otherwise if you could provide a free website that I could use to look up train operations that would be helpful as well.

Thanks.
