Unusual power |
| Description: |
Train 254 rolls east approaching the NY 17C overpass with a pair of SOO units and 87 platforms. This train typically got a mix of NYSW and CP power, but SOO units were not common. |

Another power mix |
| Description: |
Train 554, the Sea Land connection that now comes off Conrail at Buffalo, seemed to get anything. Todays effort has a pair of SOO units, which were really unusual for this train. This day there are 85 stack platforms in tow. |

Slowly I turn |
| Description: |
Train 413 rolls slowly through the south end of Bevier St, at what used to be BX cabin, as the rear of its train is stretched out to BD. Once clear of those obstacles, it will start its run to Belden tunnel in earnest. Todays effort has six units-including one of SOO's five SD60M's-for its 128 cars, a heavy train in this era. |

Making a run for it |
| Description: |
Train 413s six units are pulling hard to lift 128 cars to Belden tunnel. That non-dynamic brake ex B&M GP 40 won't be much help on the downhill side of the tunnel, as its lack of DB's will prevent the use of them on the trailing three units. |

GP 38 going north |
| Description: |
There was a spate of GP 38s going north on 413 during this time. Not sure why the exodus, and they seemed to lead most of the time. One is on the point of todays 413 as it rolls through the north end crossovers to head for BD and a trip north. Check out that second unit, an ex SOO SD 40 in Golden Rodent paint. |

Say what?? |
| Description: |
In a turn reminiscent of Macys sending Christmas shoppers to Gimbels, a unit from CPs empire leads a train that will connect to the CN at Buffalo. SOO power was unheard of on 30T/31T, so this was quite unusual. |
