OIEL arriving
Title:  OIEL arriving
Description:  OIEL arrives at Salamanca on the ex EL Mahoning Division with his train of 68 cars, including a block of TOFC up front. These are obviously not priority trailers. Hes coordinating with ELOI, who is working the yard there at the same time. A year later, I moved to Binghamton, where I lived for 18 years. This was the only time I ever saw both of these trains on the same day, never mind the same location.

TV 12
Title:  TV 12
Description:  One of the great places to watch trains on the Chicago Line was the NY Barge Canal Lock 10 at Cranseville. Lots of room to picnic, and the action was almost constant. Here TV 12 rolls east with a standard set of power for the time. Trailing are 36 stack platforms and 66 TOFC. Theres a JB Hunt container at far left of the frame. I didnt know it then, but four months later I would be pulling those all over the eastern half of the country.
