The Tier, a semaphore and an empty path |
| Description: |
CP train 557 rolls west on the Tier, taking its 21 cars past one of the classic Erie semaphores at MP 247. The empty path to the left of the tracks is the roadbed of the Lehigh Valley Auburn Branch, which ran next to the Erie most of the way from Sayre to Owego. It was pulled up after CR startup in 1976. |

Drab day |
| Description: |
Id go out in pretty much anything, on the theory that trains ran no matter what, so it would be a good idea to record the action. Besides, the Tier weather being what it is, if I only went out on good days, Id see ten trains a year. Still, January could be especially bleak, sometimes with only 30% of the possible sun coming through. On one of those days, 557 rolls around the big curve at MP 231. I was the only one to witness the event. |
