| Title: |
Cargill cars |
| Description: |
There were two customers on the Ithaca Branch north of the city: NYSEG at Milliken, which got three trains of coal every week, and Cargill, which had a salt mine just up the lake from Ithaca. Their freight was seasonal, with a surge from late fall into the winter. They were active all year, though, and the WAIT 2 crew has come back to Ithaca yard with a cut of loaded salt hoppers that will eventually be forwarded on to Gang Mills. |

| Title: |
Big power for a tie train |
| Description: |
Conrails MOW trains typically got 4 axle power, except for rail and stone, which were heavy. It was a surprise to see this tie train running east with an SD on the point. |
