Snowy coal |
| Description: |
A shot I wanted to do, but never seemed to be in the right place for, was this shot from NY 17C in Campville. It didnt turn out as well as I had hoped, as the lighting was a problem most of the day, and there was more clutter than at first glance. Either way, heres a 98 car UB series coal train behind the usual set of SD40 types. |

MP 216 |
| Description: |
I like to put railroad lineside items in my photos; mileposts are always a good prop. MP 216 is on the Tier where in Johnson Cit}, down off a back street. Almost all the mileposts on the Tier are the ex Erie concrete markers that show JC on them, signifying Jersey City. NS has replaced many in the process of single tracking the line. Here is 891 rolling 86 empties west. |

271 arrives |
| Description: |
Prior to CP taking over, when the D&H used letter codes, this train wa MEBU, and often ran the Buffalo Runner to the Southern Tier, bypassing the yard. CP worked it more often than not, so we have the incongruity of a westbound going east(or south) into the yard. Here it is behind three GATX units, two of which-the yellow ones-would eventually be bought by CP. Todays train has 86 cars. |
