419 in the gloom
Title:  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
Title:  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.

Catching the sun
Title:  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.
