Viewing Album:  Conrail in the Southern Tier-Susquehanna Division, Endicott to Gang Mills
 
By:Tom Beckett
Dates:1/1/1977 - 6/1/1999
Album Info:I lived in Endicott NY from 1988 through 2006, an interesting time to be a rail photographer on the former Erie Lackawanna. This album shows Conrail trains on the former EL Susquehanna Division from Endicott to Gang Mills, as well as some connected lines, such as the ex LV Ithaca Branch and Lehigh Line in nearby PA, and the ex NYC line from Corning to Wellsboro PA

On the way home
Title:  On the way home
Description:  Me, anyway. Dont know about the crew on this OIBU behind a pair of new widecab C40s I caught while riding home from work in Owego. I had two miles of road along the Tier between Owego and Campville, and saw trains a surprising number of times here.

Knocking it down
Title:  Knocking it down
Description:  BUOI has gotten far enough past the signals that the semaphore is dropping-see it behind the cab of the trailing unit. These signals were always fun to watch.

Elkhart bound
Title:  Elkhart bound
Description:  OIEL behind a pair of 4 motors, rolls past the eastbound signal at Hiawatha Rd. OIEL was usually an early morning train here, often getting through Owego by 0800. Counterpart ELOI was combined with BUOI at Gang Mills most of the time, and ran here infrequently.

West in the sun
Title:  West in the sun
Description:  OIBU rolls 93 cars west near MP 250, having just passed the Tioga County transfer station, and a couple of semaphores, one of which can be seen to the right of the train. This was the spot where the LV Auburn Branch ducked under the EL to reach Sayre.

Taking gas
Title:  Taking gas

Description:  OIBU rolls out of downtown Endicott along North St, and is about to pass the site of the Erie station, torn down in 1976 shortly after Conrail take over of the EL. The white building at right of the train in the distance is part of the IBM complex.

Description:  TV 203 rolls west with 170 mostly APL platforms as seen from the NY 352 overpass in Big Flats. The empty area parallel to the tracks on the left was once the DLW right of way.

Mid day light
Title:  Mid day light
Description:  Most of the time, Id catch trains here in the late afternoon, since Id be chasing after work. This is a great afternoon shot, as the train is rolling right into the sun. Middle of the day photos are not nose lit, but are nicely side lit. We see TV 203 in the side light as it comes around the big curve and under the NY 427 overpass.

Flowers and a prop
Title:  Flowers and a prop
Description:  Many of the roadways were either planted with widlflowers, or they just grew there, which is pretty likely, and I tried to get them in a photo when possible. Waverly must have been built by a model railroader, as there are many building there that you would think were pulled off someones layout. Ted Clarks, behind the train, is one such, and always made a good photo prop from the access road to NY 17 from US 220.

Six axles today
Title:  Six axles today
Description:  CR ran whatever was handy on OIBU, though it tended to get six axle power most of the time. There had been a spate of 4 motors on the train at this time, so this pair of big GEs was something of a return to normal.

Going solo
Title:  Going solo
Description:  Trains on the Tier almost never went with one unit. There were too many grades to overcome between Buffalo and Jersey, despite a lot of river running to ease the trip. Todays BUOI has only 37 cars, so perhaps the trip wont be as much of a struggle as usual. They made it over Attica Hill, lets see how they do over Gulf Summit and Otisville. Perhaps that EL box car up front will bring them luck.

OIBU straight on
Title:  OIBU straight on
Description:  I liked to shoot across the field, as I liked the angle that showed the power from the side, as well as the train. Sometimes a head on shot worked well too, such as this view of OIBU bearing down on Miller Beach Rd.

ELOI and new power
Title:  ELOI and new power
Description:  ELOI runs alongside NY 17C with a pair of new C40s and 33 cars. This train was notable in that ELOI only sporadically got east of Gang Mills-it usually terminated there, its cars forwarded by BUOI; and that it had new power. The train usually got a motley assortment of whatever was available at Elkhart, though sometimes that was western units off UP connections.

Dodging the shadows
Title:  Dodging the shadows
Description:  The great thing about Tioga Center was the semaphores; the down side was the hill to the west of the tracks, which made them go into shadow early. I had to dodge the shadows to get the power lit, meaning I had to pass up the "through the goalposts" signal shot. Still the blade on track 2 has not started to drop yet, and it can be seen above the lead stack.

OIEL western connection
Title:  OIEL western connection
Description:  For a few days, there was UP power on the Tier. This was not that common. Conrail must have been really short at Elkhart for the western power to go this far east. Today is is returning, a CR SD 50 leading the ex MP general service SD40-2 and 34 cars.

This is different
Title:  This is different
Description:  CNW power was not common on the Tier. On the Chicago Line, youd see it fairly often on PXSE or NPSE, both connections off Union Pacific that used the Northwestern to bridge the gap from Fremont Neb to Chicago, with the power running through. These guys got lost somehow, and wound up on OIBU, stopped here at Owego to check for a hot journal on one of its 119 cars, the train having tripped the detector at MP 230.45 near Campville. Too bad it wasnt an hour earlier-the light would have been ideal!!

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.

Take the A train
Title:  Take the A train
Description:  A pair of CR SD60s lead eight flats of NY subway cars past signal 234-1 entering Owego. The cars will go to Morrison Knudsen in Hornell for rebuild. The cars are R-46s. I remember when they were delivered in the 1970s.

Title:  Late winter in the Tier.

Gloomy OIBU
Title:  Gloomy OIBU
Description:  The spring of 1991 had a lot of rainy days. We were used to this in the Tier, so we went out to chase anyway, since all the usual rail suspects would be out, in this case, OIBU with 90 cars behind a pair of GEs.
