At Conesus Lake Junction in August 1972, 2-8-0 No. 38 leads an eastbound passenger excursion toward Livonia while RS-1 No. 20 holds the Conesus Lake Branch.  This is what the track looked like at the time the railroad was acquired from Erie Lackawanna.  Since that time, LAL forces have made dramatic improvements to ties, surface, drainage, and brush clearance--resulting in today's modern, well -maintained railroad (Jim Crosby photo)
