Coming in from Detroit
Title:  Coming in from Detroit
Description:  DNBU rolls toward Buffalo with 107 cars from North Yard. In an earlier era, this train might have come across Canada on NYC subsidiary Canada Southern. Conrail sold that line several years prior to this photo, and it is no longer a through route, requiring a stateside journey for Detroit-Buffalo traffic.

Snow is no object
Title:  Snow is no object
Description:  BUOI rolls east past CP CAM as the snow falls. We didnt let weather stop us as a rule, and I chased many days where I used several gallons of windshield wash to combat the salt. Today wasnt too bad, only about 4" snow.

Description:  OIBU rolls east with a surprise-a Cotton Belt SD45. The unit was actially dead in tow-note the air filter behind the cab is missing-but was still something out of the ordinary.
