MP 250
Title:  MP 250
Description:  CP trai 391 rolls past Erie milepost 250 as it approaches Waverly. There must have been a slow order, as this is only 2 1/2 miles west of the semaphore shot at Barton. Id catch him again twice before Waverly, and again at Chemung.

Hard to get
Title:  Hard to get
Description:  There was a semaphore on track 2, 245-2, that you had to cross a field to reach. As a result, I did not shoot it much. Heres a from the road look as 391 passes, the board seen between the two diesels.

391 and another semaphore
Title:  391 and another semaphore
Description:  There were a lot of Erie semaphores still in service at the time. This is the third one I shot this train with that day. The pipe hanging down from the signal was for the hot box detector indicator light, now removed since new radio alarm detectors had been installed a couple years before.
