Easy shot |
| Description: |
Train 557 rolls west past the old Erie station at Chemung. This was one of my favorite shots, as it was really easy to get. The view is right off NY 17, just up the ramp and a right turn, there you are. |

On the rocks |
| Description: |
One place I didnt shoot a lot of trains, partly because it was hard to beat a train to it after getting the shot at Chemung, and partly because the view was in shadow much of the day, was here at Wellsburg. In the summer, in late afternoon, this shot was possible. Wish I could have shot it in good light in the winter when the rocks were iced over. |

Late afternoon 557 |
| Description: |
A 557 train for Toronto heads into the last rays of sun behind a double set of power. Four units was uncommon, as typical power was a GP9u/SD40. The power may have gotten out of cycle, or the train was annulled one day. |
