Hard to catch |
| Description: |
But it wasnt easy!! In October 1987, Western NY NRHS ran a couple of circle trips from Buffalo through Rochester on the CR Chicago Line, down to Corning on the Corning Secondary, then back to Buffalo on the Southern Tier. I caught the Oct 17 trip out of Corning, and chased down the Canisteo River. The Es did what they do best-about 70 MPH-and I was doing 75 along River Rd from Addison, along with three other lunatics. The only thing that saved us is that the police presence down there was almost nil at the time-in 20 years of running that road, I think I saw a sheriffs car one time. We were cooking. I finally got ahead of the train at Carson, yielding this shot. |
