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. |

Passing what remains |
| Description: |
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. |

Extracurriculars |
| Description: |
This is not the Mills Job, which usually handles the task of interchanging gas cars with the Owego & Harford. Today the honor goes to the 891 train, an empty coal train going to Buffalo and onto the NS. This is not its usual assignment. It was interesting to watch a set of six axle power take the O&H connecting track and yard. Im sure the crew was holding their breath the entire time. |

Coal train running |
| Description: |
Almost. Look at the tanks behind the power. Hes actually slowing to cut the hoppers off and take the tanks to the Owego & Harford, an unusual move for a through train. |

The 891 passes the old Erie station as it arrives at the Owego & Harford with their gas cars. The remaining 108 cars are sitting on track 1 east of town. |
