Slowly I turn |
| Description: |
Train 413 rolls slowly through the south end of Bevier St, at what used to be BX cabin, as the rear of its train is stretched out to BD. Once clear of those obstacles, it will start its run to Belden tunnel in earnest. Todays effort has six units-including one of SOO's five SD60M's-for its 128 cars, a heavy train in this era. |

Making a run for it |
| Description: |
Train 413s six units are pulling hard to lift 128 cars to Belden tunnel. That non-dynamic brake ex B&M GP 40 won't be much help on the downhill side of the tunnel, as its lack of DB's will prevent the use of them on the trailing three units. |

On the big viaduct |
| Description: |
Train 166 crosses Tunkhannock Creek Viaduct, also known as the Nicholson Bridge. Getting shots of a train on the viaduct can be problematic. Theres a four foot wall on the edges, making a shot from the ground difficult, because you lose the trucks and some of the carbody. The good shots from in town are rather far off, though you need some distance to get a good view of the viaduct, which is just over 1/2 mile long. This is from a parking area off US 11 at the south end of the structure. I did OK considering. |
