Title:
Rare bird
Description:
Conrail had only ten C30-7s, a model that was common elsewhere. They did go big for a modified version, the 12 cylinder C30-7A, of which they had 50. One of the straight C30s leads SEEN7 into Enola from Selkirk with 121 cars.

BUOI and a blade

The signal at Rathbone was easy to get-it was right next to the road, as were several in the Canisteo valley.

Title:
MP 337
Description:
The milepost to the right of BUOI gives away the location as the train approaches Hornell and a pick up at Morrison Knudsen. To the left of the train, next to the pole line, you can see a semaphore in the approach position. There were a pair of semaphores there, across from each other. It was not an easy location to access, hence there are few photos of that set, unlike the Tioga Center blades, which you could shoot from the shoulder of NY 17C. The train is on track 1, the "fast" track, with a 40 MPH speed limit. Track 2, the "D&H main", so called becaise some Conrail dispatchers would put D&H trackage rights trains on it, had a section of 25 MPH and a section of 10 MPH speed restrictions, making for a very slow trip to River Jct.
