With the sand cars billed for Turtlepoint, this is the first time a unit sand train with run through power came to the WNYP. The train came out of Conway on Thursday night, and traversed the NS LED on Friday morning. The usual routing for these cars is NS droping the cars in B&P's Buffalo Creek yard, and the normal road freight (BFSI) then takes them to Salamanca where they are dropped for the WNYP. This train hopped on the B&P at CP-Draw, and continued south on the B&P to Machias Jct. The next morning, a WNYP crew took the train from Machias to North Olean.

Buffalo & Pittsburgh train X-BFSI (Buffalo, NY - Salamanca, NY) passes "AD" tower in Ashford, NY with a train for interchange with the WNYP in Salamanca. Built in 1914 by the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh (BR&P) railroad, Ashford tower stood to guard the junction of the Buffalo and Rochester divisions of the railroad. The tower was in service until the late 1960's when CTC was installed by the B&O railroad and has sat dormant ever since. Out of the four BR&P towers still standing, AD (Ashford, NY), WI (Brockway, PA), FC (Falls Creek, PA), and C&M Jct. (DuBois, PA) Ashford is in the best condition.
