Through a snowy world
Title:  Through a snowy world
Description:  Not uncommon this time of year. Train 167 works west under the Campville-Apalachin bridge in the usual white mantle for this time of year. Look at all the soft tops on the containers. Don't see that much.

By the boathouse
Title:  By the boathouse
Description:  There is a boating club-Id hesitate to call it a yacht club, especially since the mostly row sculls-near MP 232 as the line approaches Owego. We see 167 passing their new facility, its 110 cars stretched out along NY 17C.

166
Title:  166
Description:  CP 166 rolls 99 cars past the signal at Tioga Center. Not nearly as much fun since the semaphores were taken down. A decade later, these units would become rebuild fodder.

Solid dual flags
Title:  Solid dual flags
Description:  The "dual flag" scheme CP instituted shortly after taking over the D&H was slowly applied, and it took a long time for a significant number of units to get it. For a long time it was unusual to see even a pair of units in that scheme. Here, train 413 departs Binghamton with a solid set of four.
