Bet he makes the light |
| Description: |
The ex LV line in Ithaca has a stretch of street side running through town. As in most places where this occurs, the traffic lights are set so that when crossing protection is activated, they set up to prevent vehicles from turning onto or crossing the tracks. The trains, however, make all the lights, no matter what color. |

Got it together |
| Description: |
WACG01, a Gang Mills based crew that handled the coal from there to Ithaca, has combined with a train that was left in Ithaca yard by a previous crew. The whole train, now with four units, will head up through town to the NYSEG Milliken Station north of Ithaca. Note the hoppers and conveyor at far left. The other coal customer on this line was Cornell University, high above Cayuga's waters. Conrail would spot loaded hoppers here, which would be emptied into a pit, with the conveyor carrying the coal up to be loaded into trucks for the ride up the hill to the college. There were 17 cars spotted here this day. |

Mc Master St |
| Description: |
There was once a road crossing here at Mc Master St, which was closed, but gates installed to allow for pedestrian crossings. Some motorists didnt take the hint, as you can see by the various barriers that have been installed. Some people are remarkably creative when it comes to stupidity, and even after these were put up, occasionally a driver would get hung up on the crossing here. OIBU has no such obstacles today, and rolls on by with a pair of C36-7s. |

Almost dark |
| Description: |
ML440 rolls east with 105 racks just as it was getting to dark for photos. CR 745 is one of a group of ex LMS units from a fleet shared with CN. CR did not renumber the units when it fully acquired them, hence the out of sequence numbers. |
