The Niagara Junction Railway was an electrified freight-only railroad owned by the Erie-Lackawanna and Lehigh Valley servicing the industries in Niagara Falls, NY.

Annapolis Junction and St Denis last Sunday:

Too warm to stay inside so I drove over to Annapolis Junction.  No trains but I did find this:

Lost the internet for a few seconds.  Here's the rest:

Found this beside the track near the gravel co.  Looks like it's off an EMD unit:



Here's some cars I found at the yard:



These cars were on the spur in the Waste Management co.  Notice the gulls trying to get a free snack:



Found a WM jeep peeking out the door (Don't get excited Lee, WM (Waste Management).  Was hard to get a photo since the walls around the facility were higher then whats around the state prisons nearby:


Drove on over to St Denis and caught 2 trains in about 40 minutes:





Drove back to Annapolis Junction and took some photos of the auto transloading facility:




Mostly Chevy's and some Toyota's parked there but they were unloading Ford F-150's from one of the racks.

All in all a decent day of railfanning.
