Rolling past Cass St
Title:  Rolling past Cass St
Description:  BUOI rolls into Hornell past Cass St tower, now a relay case for CP Cass, as it enters Hornell. The tower is partly seen at far right. To the far left, coming out from under the first car, the track leading to the left is the Erie main to Jamestown and Youngstown OH. It was cut the year before, when Conrail essentially abandoned it as a through route, with what little traffic remained served by Olean based locals, with cars forwarded over the ex PRR Buffalo Line. It would be another ten years til WNY&P resored the connectino after NS took over the line. For now, we have only the ghosts of ELOI and 2NY 100 to take the switch and climb toward Tip Top.

Everyone is here
Title:  Everyone is here
Description:  Even a couple of Conrail units. Selkirk is looking like North Platte when it comes to run through power. Here we have a full view of the Santa Fe cowl unit, as well as power from NS, UP and CSX, as well as a partly hidden GP 30 rebuild from BN. Oh, there are some Conrail units here too.

D&H connection
Title:  D&H connection
Description:  After the departure of CSX from the Buffalo market via the ex B&O, the Sea Land trains went via a CR route to Chicago. This was a big time saver over the B&O via Pittsburgh. This 46 platform eastbound will go onto the D&H at Buffalo and become their 254, going to NYSW at Binghamton.

Northbound racks and more eastern power
Title:  Northbound racks and more eastern power
Description:  A northbound rack train rolls past with a Conrail unit in consist. The leader is on familiar turf-it was one of MP's C36-7's. Saw NS power that day too.
