Backing in |
| Description: |
SEPY has arrived and is now backing into Potomac Yard. Dont know why. Guess the crew wanted to see NW 1218, which was out of sight behind the train getting ready for an excursion to Front Royal. |

Conrails SEPY pulls up to back into Pot Yard, only to look over and see one of its ancestors in the adjoining Southern yard in a stark contrast of eras. |

Eastbound in the snow |
| Description: |
Anywhere else, March would be a time of anticipation, as the world throws off the burdens of winter. Not so in upstate NY, where its just another month of snow and cold. BUOI is used to it, and is getting a good start on a trip down the Delaware Division to Jersey, here passing BD on the way out of town. It will be an easy trip, as the 44 cars in the train won't tax the power of the three units doing the work. |

TV 302 |
| Description: |
TV 302 approaches KW for head room as it backs its train into Croxton behind a pair of SD 40's. Picture this train with a pair of EL SDP 45's!! The former EL Croxton yard is now an intermodal facility on NS, a far cry from its days as a polyglot mix of everything that it was in the 60s and70s. |

Good view, hard to get |
| Description: |
I always liked the view of this through truss, but didnt shoot many trains here, such as this BUOI. The problem was, you had to stand on the shoulder of NY 17 to get the shot. Not a good idea, and the state troopers will tell you that as they write the ticket for parking on the highway. |

Over the top |
| Description: |
BUOI rolls over the summit at appropriately named Gulf Summit behind a pair of SD 40s. Something is lined up westbound, probably OIBU at this time of day, as the westbound home signal shows clear. |
