Unusual signal |
| Description: |
The signal itself is not that big a deal for the Southern Tier-there were lots of semaphores up til NS took over. Whats unusual is that its showing approach, an aspect not often seen, largely due to its short duration. Here OIBU passes on a gloomy afternoon in May with a whopping 36 cars. |

Northbound coal |
| Description: |
The line through Woodard saw a variety of traffic. Heres one of the more unusual moves, coal headed north behind a pair of big GEs. For you maintenance fans, here's a shot of a CR MOW vehicle. |
