South: (Satellite)
See a B&O Map as to how the B&O got to this town. This was a terminal yard for the B&O. This route is now operated by the Rochester and Southern Railroad (RSR). Several of the tracks in this yard still exist and are used.

| Stan Carlson posted B&O L-4 switcher, ex BR&P, working the south yard at Brooks Ave, Rochester NY in the early 1950’s. The locomotive is shoving a string of hoppers over the scale in front of the yard office. One of the first CPL’s protects the main track. Most of the old BR&P semaphores were still in place on the mainline. John Murphy: What’s a CPL (? Position Light)? Tom Smale: John Murphy Color Position Light . |
The yard is in the lower-left corner of this topo excerpt.
