Car 318 is at Diehl Road’s westbound platform during a fan trip in the 1950s. In later years, the railroad painted its stations to match its rolling stock, as seen here. A railfan on the eastbound platform has raised the flagstop semaphore.

The rusty rails pefectly illustrate the lack of traffic over the Batavia branch. Car 318 has traversed these unused rails for a fan trip in the late 1950s and is seen stopped at Glenwood Park.

A two-car train composed of Jewetts 319 and 320 are stopped at Glen Oak on December 7, 1958, during the CA&E’s last chartered trip. It has been one year and five months since regularly scheduled passenger trains plied these rails, but the right of way is still being maintained for the freight service which still operates.

The last fan trip over the CA&E (and, incidentally, the last passenger movement over the railroad) took place on December 7, 1958. Cars 319 and 320 have made a photo stop at Glen Oak. Due to its scenic, wooded environs and the nearby overpass at Hill Avenue, Glen Oak was a favorite spot for many railfan photographers.
