Lock 10 in Cranesville NY a few miles east of Amsterdam NY is one of the most accessible locks for cross-canal train watching. This is how it looked in 1994 before a devastating flood in 2006 knocked it out of operation for several years. It is back in operation, but missing the stand of cottonwood trees. So much for sitting in the shade waiting for the next train. In 1994 the last section of the West Shore railroad was still operating to service a nearby quarry. Here C40-8W 6096 and an unidentifiable SD60M (55?3) lead an eastbound freight.
