Hiding in the bushes
Title:  Hiding in the bushes
Description:  13T rolls out of the shrubbery at west Endicott with 60 cars behind an eclectic mix of power, typical for this train. The foliage in the northeast gets heave, as we see here, so much that it can be a real hindrance to photography.

Waited a long time for this
Title:  Waited a long time for this
Description:  Train 205 rolls across the Chemung River just after the sun dipped too low to light up the train. My friend Sam Botts and I had stood on the Main St bridge for about an hour anticipating a 13T with some kind of off line power. We were a little surprised when 205 showed. It was really cold that day-low 20s-and now almost dark. We called it quits after this. Thats railfanning!!
