BPRR 3103 EMD GP40 - BL-1 - Caledonia
After switching Jones chemical, Rochester & Southern train BL-1 slowly makes its way down the old New York Central Peanut line as it passes an orginal NYC station in the town of Caledonia, NY. Caledonia was once home to a total of five railroads (B&O, LV, NYC, Erie, G&W) which all converged together at P&L junction, just a mile west of this location. While the R&S is the only active railroad in town, bits and pieces of all but the Erie are used today, as to get to the Peanut the train briefly hops on the old G&W from the B&O, then for about 500 ft utilizes the LV before making an S curve to join the NYC alignment.
