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 usuaoly 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. |

Watching the show |
| Description: |
The Owego & Harford was hard for me to catch, as it seemed to be a morning show several days a week, the scheduke driven by gas cars and excursion trains. Thus, there was no one working when the CP delivered their cars. RS 18 1801 looks on as the gas cars are set off near the Owego station. |
