ALCos behind the dorms

On Thursday, October 6, 2011, I was chasing trains with my friend and tour guide Otto Vondrak. At about 10:55 a.m., Livonia, Avon and Lakeville (LAL) 428 and 425 were passing  behind The Province, Student Living at the Rochester Institute of Technology, in Rochester, NY.
On March 13, 2024 Otto added: "Additional details: This is approaching Mortimer Junction, where the Erie and LV crossed the NYC West Shore. In 1979, Conrail built a new connecting track that swung off the Erie alignment and connected to the LV branch, which then swung parallel to the NYC West Shore so locals could access the small yard at Genesee Junction (Erie and LV tracks used to continue north to downtown Rochester, but that small yard was abandoned in favor of Genesee Junction). So this northbound LAL train is swinging onto that connector track."
