OK, so I looked up Driftwood PA and Machias NY on Google Earth. Scenic territory, to say the least.
A couple of questions arise:
Up the line from Driftwood, there's "Tunnel Hill" but there appears (in those crummy aerial photos)
not to be a tunnel. Was there once one there? And Port Allegany, clearly was a port at one time,
but on what waterway? What canal? And where, exactly, is Machias Junction? I find Machias NY, and
there's a 90 degree intersection there, but I can't see if there's an interchange there.
And who will WNY&P interchange with at either end of that line?
And I assume that "the Norfolk Southern rail yard in Allegany" (does NS still own it?) is what we
think of as the Olean yard? Is that actually IN Allegany NY?
