Eastbound coal
Title:  Eastbound coal
Description:  An eastbound coal train for NYSEGs Goudy station in Johnson City splits the semaphores at Tioga Center behind a single unit. Note the bottom light on the westbound signal is lit. A westbound is in the block, so well get two here. The crossing gate and relay case sit on the former LV Auburn Branch right of way.

Block limit stations
Title:  Block limit stations
Description:  Since the Ithaca Branch was Form D territory, there were block stations to designate track blocks. We see a 103 car UNE train for Milliken passing two of them. Rena, on the left, governs the Ithaca Branch; Croft, on the right, is on the Lehigh Secondary. There is also one at the other end of the secondary where it meets the Southern Tier, designated Wave, in Waverly.

Coal at the semaphores
Title:  Coal at the semaphores
Description:  An eastbound loaded UNE coal train for the Goudy plant in Johnson City rolls through the twin semaphores at Tioga Center behind a single C40-8. Its an easy pull for the GE with only 42 cars. Note the light is lit green on the westbound signal. The meet will happen somewhere between here and MP 240, probably just east of town where the tracks are inaccessible.
