419 in the gloom |
Description: |
Its one of my favorite spots, but the Tier gloom sometimes can even make a pretty spot dull. The red CP power helps, though, as 419 works west along the Susquehanna with three CPs and a SOO unit and 48 cars. |

Fields of gold |
Description: |
I have always liked Stings song by that title; it fits so well in a rural scene like this. Train 419 rolls past the gold of a dying cornfield along NY 17C west of Tioga Center with 43 cars for Buffalo. |

Four 40s with a surprise |
Description: |
A set of 4 SD40-2s, not uncommon at the time, has a surprise. The second unit is one of the NS ex Southern units they made into a cabless locomotive by removing the controls and blanking the windows. This is train 418 arriving from Buffalo with 48 cars. |

Catching the sun |
Description: |
Skies in the Southern Tier are famously cloudy, and days on end of solid overcast are not uncommon. Some days are hit and miss, wiith gaps in the clouds providing a glimpse of sun. Here train 167 catches one of the holes and a burst of sun as it approaches Devils Elbow, a section along the Susquehanna River that passes around a rock outcrop between Owego and Tioga Center. |

The same 110 car 413, with a wider view this time, allowing a better look at the power, a mix of CP in several schemes, and a classic SOO white unit. Leader 5690 will be repainted yet again, this time into a bright red "golden rodent" scheme. |
