First SOO power
Title:  First SOO power
Description:  Since the first grain train ran to the Port of Albany, we had been waiting for this day. The grain trains originated in Minneapolis, so we knew it was a matter of time before power from CP owned SOO Line came east. It finally happened on a Thursday night, the train going to Albany after darkness had fallen. The return trip, however was a home run. We could not have asked for a better situation. Clear sky, and the train called for 1330, setting up a westbound chase in perfect light. We followed him to Hornell. It was great. ABBU sits at the south end of Bevier St with two SOO units trailing CP 5674.

By the station
Title:  By the station
Description:  The sun is a some time thing in the Tier. We had chased this ABBU from Binghamton, with hardly a cloud in the sky, then got dinked at Hornell. Even on the good days, clouds!! I'm standing on the site of the one time Allegany Division yard, now becoming a strip mall.

Wide open
Title:  Wide open
Description:  The telephoto view from this vantage point homes in on the train and livestock. In this wider view we see how open the valley is here, and why it got to be called Big Flats. The train is on the ex Erie. The DLW here is gone without a trace, 31 years after the line went out of service.

Taken by surprise
Title:  Taken by surprise
Description:  ABBU had passed signal 325-1 and was slowly working toward downtown Hornell. The crowd on the bridge-look at the shadows-was focused on the approaching SOO units, and not paying attention to what was coming up behind. Suddenly BUOI popped out from under the bridge, making this meet shot.
