    Niagara Falls on the Conrail Niagara Branch on the afternoon of Saturday, March 28th, 1998 at 1:47 PM. B36-7 5050 leads SD60M 5557 on a light engine move out of the Falls.
    This pair showed up two hours later on an ML train heading to Frontier yard in Buffalo with the 5557 leading.
    They must have been heading to the Tuscarora Wye to turn and then back to Niagara Yard to get the auto racks.
    I still don't know where exactly they turned or where exactly they picked up the auto racks.
