Touring Seneca Valley Lines

Coming from staging, train FFW-1 enters the spectacular Arthur Kill Bridge at Jersey City, New Jersey. You'll notice that the ALCo power is in the yellow jacket livery. Jersey City is an industrial town on the eastern end of the model portion of the Lehigh Valley. The city has a streetcar line. Bethlehem, Pennsylvania is home to Bethlehem Steel. The ALCo 420 passes by the rolling mill. Here's the power plant and the headquarters for the steel mill. Above train FFW-1 is the Hazelton mine. It's served by a branch line that ties into the main at Rochester junction. At the town of Hazelton, the coal run works downgrade as an RDC waits at the depot. It will soon transport the miners up to the mine. At the photogenic Lehigh Gorge, the coal run crosses the Lehigh River. ALCo number 408 soon appears on the main line after working its way through a series of tunnels. As the freight rolls past LG tower, there's a train waiting at the Central of New Jersey cut off. This is the approach to Glenn Summit. There is the final crossing of the Lehigh River before it reaches Geneva. Here is the Lehigh Valley station at Geneva. FFW-1 passes a residential area. In back is the Geneva sand and gravel plant. The city of Geneva is located on Seneca Lake. Meanwhile the Hazelton coal run continues toward Rochester Junction. At Victor, the coal run passes the rental industrial supply. Here is the Victor depot and the silos that are part of the farm supply stream. The track crosses the Irondequoit Creek. The coal run arrives at RJ tower. The loaded hoppers will be picked up by the next through freight. Finally, ALCo number 408 passes under the route 96 overpass and reaches Victor. Here's the farm supply store. The train rolls behind the Victor lumberyard. Number 408 arrives at RJ tower. FFW-1 passes the station at Rochester Junction and leaves the scene over Honeoye Creek. The ALCo Century leads its cars through Caledonia. In the foreground is the city coal company. Here, the main passes the B&O interchange outside Caledonia. And a den runs over Oatka Creek. At the outskirts of Buffalo, New York, the line passes the Lehigh Valley car repair shops. Buffalo passenger station and all the tall downtown buildings come into view. Way in back are the Pillsbury grain elevators. At South Buffalo Yard, a circus train is in town for the big show. The yard runs along the shore of Lake Erie as the diesel facility and roundhouse come into view. The ALCo enters staging through the Seneca Valley Warehouse.
