Setting off
Title:  Setting off
Description:  On one of those rare days when ELOI runs east of Gang Mills, it sets off its Binghamton cars at Liberty St. It will pull back out and couple to the rest of its train and head east. The home signal is the eastbound signal on track 2 at BD.

Going downtown
Title:  Going downtown
Description:  The ex LV in Ithaca has several blocks of street side running. Its limited to 10 MPH, and caused real havoc with traffic, especially at rush hours. This empty train came through just at dusk, tying up town for 15 minutes. In the late 1990s, a new bridge/interchange for NY 79, 89, and 96 was built, crossing the tracks and largely eliminating the problem.

Three today

Description:  OIBU passes BD with three units today, one a GP 38. CR was not shy about mixing 4 and 6 axle power, as we see here.
