Crossing the Cattaraugus. During the first photo runs of the day, New York and Lake Erie Railroad MLWs FPA4 6764 (ex-VIA 6764, neé-CN 6764) and FPA2 6758 (ex-VIA 6758, neé-CN 6758) were crossing Cattaraugus Creek in Gowanda, New York on Saturday, June 25, 2022. The participants detrained and were permitted to walk down to the water level to capture multiple photo runs. During regular excursion service, the engines are cut off at the station in Gowanda to run around the train but do not come on to the bridge.
