Father and son
Title:  Father and son
Description:  A father gets a photo of the period freight run for the Southern Tier RRE railfan day. At the time, Im sure my thought was, "I wish this guy wasnt in my picture." Now I look at the man taking the photo, with his young son by his side, and its one of my favorites, a dad and his young boy having a day out together, some quality time shared. By now, that little boy must be pushing 30, and dad is probably a lot grayer-I know I am!! Hopefully, they both recall this otherwise gloomy day fondly. Its been said that there is a lack of interest by younger kids in railroads. A moment like this is how it starts.

Making the swap
Title:  Making the swap
Description:  CP 1810 and Tioga Central 62 swap gas cars at Owego in TCs yard. The line at left is Conrail's ex EL Southern Tier Line. The through truss crosses Owego Creek. The Tioga Central unit is on the ex Lehigh Valley Auburn Branch, which left the LV main at Sayre, running alongside the EL from there to Owego. D&H and LV had an interchange train that operated via that route to Owego, then over the EL to Binghamton, alternately with LV power and D&H power. A lot of interesting units showed up on it, including the D&H sharks.
