Crew changed and rolling |
| Description: |
SLN 5 has changed to a D&H crew and is underway from Binghamton, just departing the office. The train is well powered with a B 40 and five NS units. It will be a good chase to Hornell. |

Past the cool buildings |
| Description: |
The railroad passes along the back side of the buildings on Waverlys main drag, and the look is very much like a model layout. This has long been one of my favorite shots. |

Through the blades |
| Description: |
SLN 5 rolls through the twin semaphores at MP 243-actually, they are 242-1 and 242-2, they were just east of MP 243-knocking down the signal on track 1. This was probably the most popular shot on the Tier west of Binghamton. Easy to get to, and couldnt beat a pair of blades side by side. |

Now the hard part |
| Description: |
SLN 4 rolls into Port Jervis behind, of all things, a GP 18. It now has to tackle the grade over Otisville, and the up and down of the NYSW. Almost home. |
