At this exclusive event, you'll have the opportunity to spend a morning on Erie Lackawanna's Buffalo & Southwestern branch as ALCO S1 #308 wearing it's Erie/Erie Lackawanna dress pulls a work train from Cherry Creek to Gowanda, New York on home rails it operated on during the 1950s and 60s. With period theming, this event will recreate the look and feel of the storied trackage during the twilight years of common carrier service under the legendary Erie Lackawanna banner, with a rare chance to capture a freight consist on present day New York & Lake Erie trackage.
