Workin' on the Railroad
Mar 3, 2020 07:58:27 #
Driving over the bridge south of the railyard in Massena NY we saw this engine stopped and of course we had to turn around to get a closer look. Ended up watching the workers for almost three hours getting this engine and the car behind it back on the rails. It was very hard work - made more difficult I'm sure by the tight space they had to work in.

Some nice shots, there. It looks as if that railroad isn’t used very often.

Actually we used to see quite a bit of activity here- on the Canadian border - however last summer the railyard was empty. I'm not sure what is happening there. It is right next to a giant Alcoa plant.

I have no idea what happened here - when we saw it first it must have just happened recently as there were only a couple employees at that time. As we watched more and more employees came on the scene.
