BUME rolls north across the Harpursville bridge over Wylie Creek, seen from the north(geographically) side of the bridge. This is not the usual angle, which is from NY 7. This view is lit only in the long days of summer. I took advantage of the late afternoon sun to catch two B40s and an Alco from the NY 235 shoulder. |

A change of scenery |

Not the NYSW GEs, though ten years earlier, no one in his right mind would have said the perennially broke Suskie would have modern high horsepower diesels, but the building to the right. The back of the store there is part of a strip mall with a Family Dollar and a P&C Foods(itself now a memory). The building sits on what was once the Allegany Division yard that was across the main from the Hornell station. |

A wide view of SLN 5 from the NY 17 access road at exit 60 shows the train passing through downtown Waverly, showing its two prominent trackside landmarks. At left is Ted Clarks Busy Market, which is still open as of August 2015. At right is the large Leprino Foods cheese plant, a Conrail customer. The plant is still open. Im unsure of ownership at this time. Behind the train downtown is the famous backdrop of old buildings. |

This was a program undertaken by NYSW to update several units and repaint them into the D&H lighning stripe scheme. Two other 39s were done, 7403 and 7407, as well as several GP38-2s. The power at left will go out shortly on PYRP. |

Going west |
| Description: |
A late SLN 3-the train usually showed in the morning-rolls through Owego on a mission to get to Buffalo. A pair of GEs and a pair of 45s have the task today for the 65 Sea Land platforms, 6 COFC and 7 freight.Note the 40 MPH speed sign. Conrail allowed certain frieghts 50 here, as did EL in days past, so this is a speed restriction, most likely due to work being done in the area. |

NYSW continued to aggressively pursue international container traffic, and Walter Rich was pretty successful at it. This is NYK 6, and eastbound move for NYK steamship lines, though there are some Hanjins on the head end of the 65 platform train. A pair of B 40s has the train headed for Starrucca and Jersey, rolling past the water plant and Willow Run Foods at Kirkwood. |

Erie relic |
| Description: |
BUME rolls past the Erie station at Tioga Center, an overlooked part of the railroad scene in that town. The station was in serious disrepair-it's a wonder Conrail left it up so long. Indeed, it would crash under its own weight in a few years. To look at Tioga Center now, it's hard to believe such a small town had a station at all. |
