Down the valley
Title:  Down the valley
Description:  This shot near Adrian was one of many scenic locations in the Canisteo valley. It was always a good chase there, with many good shots to be had. The locals, as seen here, seemed oblivious to the passing show. Today's episode is train 557, rolling behind museum power with 20 stack platforms, 7 TOFC and 13 freight.

Cemetery
Title:  Cemetery
Description:  For some reason, cemeteries always make an attractive train photo, perhaps because trains are so noisy and full of life, just the opposite of the serenity of a graveyard. Train 557 rolls past the small cemetery in Adrian.
