Dropping the blade |
| Description: |
I wanted to get the shot of BUOI splitting the semaphores, but a Conrail crew was working on the installation of new crossing protection. I backed off a few hundred feet, and got the blades, and the crew. The crossing here, Ayers Rd, previously had only crossbucks, and now would have gates and flashers. The semaphores would last another year. The roadway to the right of the tracks, and where the relay case is for the crossing protection, was once the LV Auburn Branch, which ran parallel to the EL from Owego to Waverly. |

Meet next to a cornfield |
| Description: |
This was not a cornfield meet in the traditional sense-the trains passed without incident, but there was surely a cornfield in the distance as MTPL met BUOI just west of Tioga Center. |

Cant get this now |
| Description: |
For one thing, Conrail, which replaced the Erie Lackawanna here, is itself now a long ago memory. The trees that are saplings in this photo, are now grown up, blocking the view of the half dozen or so trains that now run here each week. OIBU passes with 39 cars, and will be in Binghamton in about 30 minutes. |
