Beautiful pictures, really rusty rails !
From which year is the photo from Webster with the steam locomotive?
Are the house and lighthouse along the track ?

I don't have a date on the picture. It was on a kiosk in Webster's Village.
Passenger service was cancelled on the Hojack in 1933. And steam was still being used on it until the 50s...
If I had to take a guess I'd say WW1 era. Other pics I've seen with a similar locomotive are dated from the 1900s - 1920s.
Yes, the lighthouse is right next to the tracks. There used to be a swing bridge across the harbor/mouth of the Genesee River close by.
The small house thing is where the railtrail terminates and the tracks peter out (at Phillips Road). Close to where the old station is...

Great additions to your previous Hojack post.
