Rolling in the sun
Title:  Rolling in the sun
Description:  For a late afternoon northbound, there were not too many decently lit shots going north. One that worked was this view at Afton, where there was enough angle to shoot from the shoulder of NY 7. We see a PLMT rolling toward the signal at GR behind a mix of power.

Approaching the signal
Title:  Approaching the signal
Description:  The signal gantry at GR is well known, and easy to get a shot of, due to being so close to the road. PLMT rolls up to it as the afternoon rolls on into evening.

Description:  A view from the access road to NY 17 from US 220 gives a good view of the train passing Ted Clarks. Note the lead unit seems to be unsure of its identity.
