ALOI |
| Description: |
One of two trains Conrail favored us with this afternoon was this ALOI, rolling east with 72 cars. Both trains we saw were eastbounds in the afternoon. Some days are like that. |

OIBU with a twist |
| Description: |
OIBU has an E unit behind the road power today. Unlike the EL, which used them in freight service, though mostly on the west end of the railroad, this one is in tow to a scrap dealer. |

Great view |
| Description: |
One of the more panoramic views of the Tier, but a hard one to get, since you could only get this shot sunlit late in the day in the summer, and there was no place convenient to park, was this shot of the line from the hill on Watson Blvd as it approached Endwell. When it worked, it was a great shot. Here it is with OIBU rolling west with 41 cars on a Friday afternoon. |

ML 401 mix |
| Description: |
ML 401 was the train that ran mostly empty auto racks from Doremus Av unloading facility in Newark to Buffalo via the Tier. Today it has 44 general freight ahead of its 48 racks, so either the merchandise was really light and they combined it with OIBU, or it was really heavy and this was overflow. We see it at Waverly passing the iconic Ted Clarks Busy Market, which was still there when I visited this past July. |

Frozen |
| Description: |
No, not the Disney feature!! In this case, its the Chemung River, which we see at left from the connector bridge at Wellsburg in this view of ML 401 approaching the automatic signal 266-1. In another month, the weather will warm up enough to cause a lot of snow melt, which will put the river at the bottom of this bridge, helping create a massive ice dam. |
