Street running
Title:  Street running
Description:  Almost. The right of way was actually separated by a concrete curb. We see WAIT 2 working through town with one car for Cargill, much to the relief of local drivers, who are used to seeing 90 car coal trains go past at 10 MPH. This train will likely return with several dozen salt cars, a typical move.

Goudy coal

Description:  An eastbound coal train, probably for NYSEG in Johnson City to judge by the Shawmut hoppers, passes the station at Silver Springs with 50 hoppers in tow.

New and old
Title:  New and old
Description:  CP Horn, once upon a time ZY on the EL, is getting new signals. The new boards Conrail will soon install are turned away, while the erstwhile Erie signals remain in service for a few more months. Once the line east of here is single tracked, the new signals will be cut in, and another vestige of the old order will be gone. In a nod to the old, two of the three units on the train are straight SD 40's.
