X2000 meet BUOI |
| Description: |
In photo that has "Erie" written all over it-note the space for the center siding, and the Erie "traffic light" signal in the distance, the X2000 meets BUOI just east of town. The only thing better would be a couple of EL SD45s-or maybe SD60s by this time-on the freight. |

Phoebe reborn?? |
| Description: |
Not exactly. In 1993, the X2000, a prototype for what would become the Acela, toured the eastern US and CP. It ran from Philadelphia to Buffalo via Binghamton. Here we see it meeting BUOI at Ellistown Rd east of Waverly. Thats one of Eries variety of signals on track 2. |

View from the road |
| Description: |
The chase road for most of my excursions close to home was NY 17C, which followed the tracks pretty closely from Binghamton to Waverly. We see the X2000 just east of Waverly, where the road is up on a hill. Its a good view, and theres even a semaphore. |

One of the more unlikely juxtapositions on the Tier, the X2000 trains F 40s pass a classic Erie semaphore in downtown Waverly. I'm standing on the site of the Erie station, demolished in a 1967 wreck. |

F 40 and OIBU |
| Description: |
The tail end of OIBU is visible at right while the X2000 train waits for a signal east of Waverly. Note the old Erie "stoplight" signal at right. The signal is lit red, despite the top light being illuminated, the reverse of typical railroad practice. |

Not a station stop |
| Description: |
But it would be cool if it were. The only thing is, the train would be at the ex DLW station on the adjacent line, and not likely at the old Erie freighthouse. Ironically, Im standing on the site of the Erie passenger station, which was razed shortly after Conrail startup in 1976. The X2000 train passes on its way to Elmira, looking like an Empire Service Southern Tier train, if there was such a thing. |
