Got the board |
| Description: |
The Southern Tier picnic train has the board at East Glass and is about to take to the Tier and take off. Once clear of the plant, Jack Kithcart, Southern Tier GM was running. He notched it out and he was gone. I did not catch the train all the way back to Binghamton. Jack must have thought he was running the Erie Limited. Im told he ran 70 MPH to Binghamton. |

Good crowd |

The picnic goers are getting off the train at Hammond Dam State Park. Despite what had to be a really early start at Port Jervis, there is a good sized crowd. |

Roadside |
| Description: |
There was a road close to the tracks for most of the distance south from Corning, so following the train was easy. It has almost reached the park in this shot from PA 267. |

Along the lake |
| Description: |
Hammond Lake is man made, so the railroad needed to be relocated when it was created. We see the picnic train along the lake on the relocated line. |

Picnic train |
| Description: |
Looking like it wants to the the Erie Limited, the Southern Tier picnic train passes BD on the Erie side as it arrives from Port Jervis. It will pick up here for the picnic, at Hammond Dam State Park near Wellsboro PA. Naturally, the faithful are out to record the event. |

Classic scene |

A pair of E units leading the Southern Tier picnic train rolls from track 2 to single track at SR just east of Susquehanna. Its not Erie power, and the tower is closed, but it still looks pretty good. |

Classic Erie |
| Description: |
The only thing better would have been Erie(or EL, Id take that any day) E 8s on this train, the Southern Tier picnic special, which ran from Port Jervis to Hammond Dam State Park near Wellsboro PA. Here it is on the famous Starrucca Viaduct, a pair of classics if ever there was one. |

Es |
| Description: |
As usual, the train was pulled by a pair of E 8s. CR 4021 was the trailing unit. Im going to hazard a guess that 4020 was the leader, though I cant find where dad got a photo of the lead unit. |
