Four units east

Description:  And a short train. BUOI rolls across the Kinney Rd crossing in Campville behind four EMDs with all of 37 cars. In a masterful show of efficiency, this same power set would return the next day on OIBU.

Poking out of the shadow
Title:  Poking out of the shadow
Description:  OIBU rolls along the Susquehanna at Red Rocks, just east of Great Bend as the last sun reaches into the valley. Today's train is unusual, as the consist is 14 freight, 12 COFC and 125 stack platforms, more like an NYSW train than OIBU.
