Every once in a while
Title:  Every once in a while
Description:  Despite CP having taken over the D&H operations nearly ten years before, sometimes a NYSW unti would still get in the mix on a D&H train. Heres one running west on 271 at Owego. Most of the hardware in this scene is now a memory.

Only a little farther
Title:  Only a little farther
Description:  Train 165 is almost to the tunnel, passing here at Moottown Rd, just north of the north end of the old Dyes Siding, whose signal mast can be seen in the trees above the last engine. The four units are doing OK-there are only 24 cars today.

Friendly wave
Title:  Friendly wave
Description:  In the first few years after 9/11, it was not uncommon for train crews to be antagonistic toward fans. Some of the CSX River Line crews seemed to take great pleasure in calling in anyone who appeared trackside with a camera. Thus, it was nice to get a wave from an engineer, as here with 165 at Nowlan Rd.
