No, Paul, any trailers unloaded in Bingo at this time went to Conklin where there was a ramp in front of BY tower but across the mainline tracks. I remember the gantry crane over on the ERIE side but cannot EVER remember it being used for anything. A relic of former times. I think I was around for the 759 and MAY have some fotos of her blasting south on the DL side just south of Conklin yard.
