557 and a semaphore |
| Description: |
The signal at MP 247 was fairly easy to get to-there was a maintenance road access right off NY 17C, all you had to know was where to turn, and have a long lens ready. It was one of a half dozen Erie semaphores still standing at that time. They would last into the 21st century. Here we see a 557 rolling west behind a typical mix of a GP9u and SD40. |

Late afternoon 557 |
| Description: |
A 557 train for Toronto heads into the last rays of sun behind a double set of power. Four units was uncommon, as typical power was a GP9u/SD40. The power may have gotten out of cycle, or the train was annulled one day. |

Coming out of the sun |
| Description: |
And IBM. Train 558, very late this day, rolls out of the late day sun and the IBM complex at Hayes Av in Endicott. This view shows the scope of the facility there, which once made mainframes, and eventually PCs. Ten years later, IBM which employed over 10,000 in the region, would be largely a memory. |

Rolling west |
| Description: |
Train 557 rolls past QD on its way out of Binghamton. Gloomy day, but an Alco leading always brightens the day. The Lackawanna station is seen above the trailing unit, with the Erie freight house at far left, visible under the bridge. The Erie station stood immediately behind the power, and was razed in 1976 soon after the Conrail start up. |

There were a lot of Erie semaphores still in service at the time. This is the third one I shot this train with that day. The pipe hanging down from the signal was for the hot box detector indicator light, now removed since new radio alarm detectors had been installed a couple years before. |

891 west |
| Description: |
The 891 symbol was an empty coal train, though you would not know it from this shot. The train rolls west coming into Owego with CSX power and a mixed consits. My guess is CP added some freight to the train to fill out tonnage and save a train start. This train has 116 cars behind its four SDs. |

The 891 train rolls west on the Tier at Goodrich Settlement, a small community just west of Owego. The track in the foreground is the former LV Auburn Branch, now just a long tail track on the Owego & Harford. It ends abruptly about 1/2 mile behind me, the right of way abandoned from there to the LV yard in Sayre. Twenty years prior to this photo, you could see LV Alcos and D&H Sharks here. |

| Description: |
One of my favorite photo spots was along NY 17C about two miles east of Waverly, where this down on shot showed not only the train, but the expanse of the valley as well. Train 891 adds to the scenery on this June evening. Note the D&H lettering on the 4th head car. These cars were on their last legs by this time. Also, note the semaphore on track 2 at far left. This was one of the last ones to go. |

KL 1 |
| Description: |
CP train KL 1, K Line stacks in charge of a single CP Alco, en route to Buffalo and a NS connection, passes the former Erie station at Silver Springs. The station was used at the time by MOW crews, hence its good appearance many years after the ELs demise. |

Always good to see an Alco |
| Description: |
Even if its trailing. A C424 is in second place today, but will be leading tomorrows 557 west. It is about to pass under NY 17C in west Endicott. C424's were not uncommon on the 557/558 trains, but mostly it got an SD40/GP9 combination. Six axle MLW's were more commonly seen on the D&H going north, though they did appear on the Tier from time to time. |

558 past the detector |
| Description: |
Train 558 passes the site of the hot box detector on its last lap into Binghamton. The EL had a hot box detector here on track 1; the cabin in the foreground housed the equipment. When it had a hit, it would set the next westbound automatic signal yellow, and the one after that red. |

Across the field |
| Description: |
After following NY 70 for about 12 miles from Canaseraga, the tracks veer away as they approach the Portage Bridge in Letchworth State Park, taking a more direct path than the road. We see 261 just east of Dalton as it starts this approach behind SOO and GATX units with 62 TOFC. |

Out of the valley |
| Description: |
CP 261 rolls past the new, but not yet active, signals at CP HORN, replacing the old Erie lights there as part of the single tracking project. This marks what was the east end of Hornell yard, ZY on the EL. This was once a major yard and shop on the EL, now only a few tracks, and the shop an ABB complex that rehabs transit and commuter cars. |

By the barn |

SOO and NYSW power head west |
| Description: |
One of the great things for a railfan about the transition from directed service by the NYSW to the CP was the unlikely power mixes. Who ever figured a small regional like NYSW would have its power in the same consists with SOO units?? Yet, here it is.... |
