Classic B&O |
| Description: |
Rochester & Southern train SR 2 rolls past the B&O station at Caledonia with 35 cars, a classic brick station. For some reason, B&O liked the Spanish style. |

Switchers too |
| Description: |
Even switchers got the new scheme. I am not aware of any other end cab units on the roster, but this one, an ex SP unit judging by the lights, looks good in the G&W family colors, seen at Brooks Av. |

Something old, something new |
| Description: |
This short train was at Brooks Av in Rochester over New Years weekend. We have a leased B&O GP 9 in Chessie paint leading, something old. Trailing is a GP 40 in the new R&S paint scheme, based on parent Genesee & Wyomings colors. It is a scheme that will become familiar nationwide as G&W builds its short line empire. |

New paint |
| Description: |
The Rochester & Southern was still a new operation in 1987, having taken over the B&Os former Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh lines from CSX. The power was painted in a scheme that was modified from parent Genesee & Wyomings original paint diagram, and would become well known in the short line world as G&W acquired more lines. Here we see R&S 105 in its new dress at Brooks Av yard in Rochester. |
