Panning from the road
Title:  Panning from the road
Description:  NY 17C is within sight of the Southern Tier Line for most of its distance in Tioga County, making for a good chase road. You have to hustle in places to keep up. One such place is between Barton and Waverly, where the tracks cut a much shorter arc to reach the same point. I was trying the beat the train into Waverly, but wanted to grab the shot across the field-this is the place where theres a concrete underpass in the middle of the cornfield, to allow the cows to get under the former LV, now long gone-but not lose any time. I held the camera up and shot, with this as the result.

Different angle
Title:  Different angle
Description:  There were not too many shots at Smithboro on the south side of the tracks, but there was an angle you could get if you took the short underpass just off NY 17C between Smithboro and Barton, if the corn wasnt too high in this field. In early May, it had not yet been planted, leaving the angle open. We see 205 rolling west.
