Starting back
Title:  Starting back
Description:  The excursion train has changed ends and is now on the way back to Bath, the head brakeman having just flagged him over the crossing. This photo show the attractions in Cohocton: the Farm Museum, which chronicled life in the early days of the area, which is still largely agrarian, and the DLW station, which had been nicely restored. The trip was not too bad for a short line. Despite decades of little maintenance, the track was in pretty good shape, a testimony to the Lackawannas engineering. Unofficially, trains could make 40 for a good stretch between here and Bath.

End of the line
Title:  End of the line
Description:  On May 21 1994 the Southern Tier Division RRE ran a trip on the Bath & Hammondsport that covered all of the line then in operation, and finished with a dinner cruise on Keuka Lake. It was well attneded, and riders got a taste of the traditional B&H as well as a short ride on the ex DLW main from Bath to Cohocton. The DLW part was a trear, as we were making 40 MPH on most of the straight portions, testament to the DLWs fine engineering. Here we see the train ready to go at Cohocton behind #5.
