Bath & Hammondsport caboose undergoing repairs at hannomdsport, NY. Is the B&H still in business? They ran a wine train briefly a few years ago.

yep, the B&H still exists!
(could the B&H be the oldest continously operating shortline in the US?
it has been around since 1872!)

for the last 5 years or so, it has been operated by the Livonia, Avon & Lakeville.
the two classic B&H Also S1's are still in use:
(although not used much)

and the LA&L recently lettered a C424 for the B&H..same black and yellow paintscheme as the other LAL units, but lettered "Bath & Hammondsport" down the side.
largest engine ever run by the B&H!

The B&H runs between Cohocton, NY, through Bath, to the NS interchage at Painted Post..near Gang Mills yard.
the entire line is former DL&W mainline.
the original line from Bath north to Hammondsport is out of service, but the tracks are still in place.

All those big Cartier M630's and C636's are stored at the B&H yard at Cohocton. (3 of them have now gone to work on the Susquehanna)
