166 arriving |
Description: |
CP train 166 pulls down to the south end behind a typical mix of power. The train also has some Erie Mining RS 11s in tow. I belive they were going to the M&E in New Jersey. |

Along the pole line |
Description: |
Train 419-it ran to Buffalo and Toronto the days 167 didnt run, though this day's effort still has 18 stack platforms along with its 112 cars-rolls west along the George F Highway and the Erie pole line into the afternoon sun. NS would single track this ten years later, and remove the poles. It opened up the shot, but took away one of the things that made this line interesting. |

Center siding |
