The good stuff always runs after dark |
| Description: |
I have to admit, this was a good day. I saw a lot of trains in Jersey, Delaware, and PA. The one with the western power doesnt show til the light is gone. So it goes.. This 91 car ALOI had a UP unit trailing, which was sort of a big deal at the time-western power didnt come to the east coast nearly as much as it does now. Thats the ex LV station behind the train. |

Scenic LV |
| Description: |
The LV stayed pretty much intact east of Sayre PA, though between there and Allentown there was not much traffic after Conrail started. West of there, much of the railroad was pulled up, except for a few sections here and there. Probably the most important was what became the Ithaca Branch under Conrail, the line from Sayre up through Van Etten Jct, then on to ithaca. It served a NYSEG generating station at Milliken, and an adjacent Cargill salt mine, as well as some local customers in Ithaca. Sometimes cars for the uplake customers would be combined, which is what we see here. WAIT 2 rolls north with a salt block head out, with about 90 coal hoppers behind. It will tie up traffic in Ithaca for 20 minutes when it rolls through town. |
