Another Shot At The Beebe, Canastota, NY
This is one of the best spots to railfan between Utica & Syracuse in my opinion. Part of the old Erie Canal towpath parallels the old NYC main on the long defunct West Shore RR at left. I do a lot of railfannig here, as a large parking area sits out of view on the old W.S. At one time, a bridge carried the Shore over the road. Both the elevated right-of-way, and West Shore bridge and grade which the parking lot now occupies are long gone. Unfortunately, I missed a golden opportunity as a westbound CSX freight that I was oblivious to passed just seconds after I snapped this photograph.
