Wide view
Title:  Wide view
Description:  A 261 train rolls around the big curve going into Canaseraga as seen from the NY 70 overpass. The Erie once had grade separated mains here, the eastbound being higher. That track was abandoned when Conrail single tracked the line in 1992. The view from up here is stunning on a nice day.

Retired sentinel
Title:  Retired sentinel
Description:  Train 261 passes one of the semaphores that guarded track 1 til it was taken out of service the year before. The Canisteo valley was up til then one of the best places to see them still in service. Some would last into the 21st Century elsewhere on the line.
