419 in the gloom
Title:  419 in the gloom
Description:  Its one of my favorite spots, but the Tier gloom sometimes can even make a pretty spot dull. The red CP power helps, though, as 419 works west along the Susquehanna with three CPs and a SOO unit and 48 cars.

Fields of gold
Title:  Fields of gold
Description:  I have always liked Stings song by that title; it fits so well in a rural scene like this. Train 419 rolls past the gold of a dying cornfield along NY 17C west of Tioga Center with 43 cars for Buffalo.
