St Bonaventure rail line dismantled ending passes era
The St Bonaventure Railroad at St Bonaventure College in Olean New York is being ripped up after 22 years to clear space for a new administration building. Father Inomas Plassman OFM president recalls how passes were exchanged with other lines and boasted the rail's width compared with bigger roads. The line supplied campus boiler rooms via the Allegheny River tranch and the dinkey engine is long gone. A future plan is to move trip wires by track.
