Grain train on the hill
Title:  Grain train on the hill
Description:  Up til the trees grew too high, it was possible to shoot a train heading for the tunnel from Tunnel Rd between NY 7 and Moottown. I was able to take advantage of this to get a shot of this 390 clawing its way uphill at Dyes siding with a PLM unit leading three SOO SDs.

Grain to Albany
Title:  Grain to Albany
Description:  A 390 grain train to the Port of Albany rolls north near Old State Road. The empty bridge in the foreground is the old DLW Syracuse and Utica Branch. This segment of it was abandoned as part of the project that raised the overpasses at Beview St. The NYSW, who now uses the line, runs on the D&H to a point just north of here, reaching its own line via a new connecting track.
