The railroad's
right-of-way consists of of track, known as the
Falls Road Branch, originally part of the
New York Central Railroad linking
Niagara Falls and
Rochester. The line passed to the
Penn Central and then to
Conrail ownership before being acquired on October 15, 1996. Dispatching is handled by Genesee Valley's operations center in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The name
Falls Road originates from the
Lockport and Niagara Falls Railroad, and was adopted by
New York Central. In 1994, Conrail abandoned of track between Rochester and
Brockport, New York; the
Falls Road Branch now terminates in Brockport, west of Owens Road at Mile Post 16.60. The Falls Road provides rail service to several fertilizer, transload, and produce customers in the area, as well as the Western New York Energy, LLC
ethanol plant near
Medina, New York. In June 2024, the Falls Road entered into a new contract with
Tropicana shipping orange juice to Brockport for distribution by truck into southern
Canada. An engine house will be built and maintained in Brockport to assist the railroad in handling the added traffic. ==Niagara & Western New York==
