Title:
The other shot
Description:
Tioga Center was known for the pair of semaphores that were opposite each other at the Ayres Rd crossing a mile of so east of this location, and that was "the" shot there. I always loved the cormfield and hills, but the lighting didnt usually favor that shot, since the train was going to be dark almost all the time. I took advantage of one of the Southern Tiers many cloudy days to get 261 there in more even light.
