Through the station
Title:  Through the station
Description:  The tunnels at Baltimore made it a bottleneck, one of many reasons Conrail avoided the corridor. Here a Pot Yard bound train waits out the passenger traffic on the bypass tracks at Penn Station

Split signals
Title:  Split signals
Description:  Not only is OIBU splitting them by going between them, but they are two different types. Where Im standing was where the Erie RR Waverly station once stood, til it was wiped out in a 1967 derailment. But for that, youd likely see a pair of semaphores here.

By the barn
Title:  By the barn
Description:  One of my favorite shots, but you could only do it effectively during the long days of late spring and summer, was from an embankment along NY 17C east of Waverly. Here was a barn and silo, lending a real rustic effect to a line that was already quite scenic
