Description:  ALCG has come off the Lehigh Line and is now getting its train rolling for Gang Mills yard and the end of their trip up the ex LV. I'm standing on the site of the Erie station, which was demolished in a wreck in 1967.

Stacks and a TBS
Title:  Stacks and a TBS
Description:  No, not Turner Broadcasting. It was Conrail terminology for Temporary Block Station. Due to trackwork, trains were running wrong side from Waverly to Elmira, and there was a conductor stationed there, working out of his van, to hand up orders and throw switches. TV 303 is getting the orders today.
