Erie Harlem Station
B949-04 brings an EXTREMELY rare Saturday extra south passing the former site of the Erie Harlem Station, which closed in 1969. This was the northernmost of 4 float bridges each operated by the L.V, D.L.&W., and the C.N.J., and was the most modern. The facility at one time had 12 employees, and 10 tracks that could hold 55 cars. The 30 ton capacity electric gantry crane is all that remains in 2014.
CSX engine 8762 is in the same spot that the float bridge once stood.
