On my way home
Title:  On my way home
Description:  One of the pluses of living and working within earshot of the Tier was that I often would catch a train going somewhere when I got out of work. Today it was BUOI, about to pass under NY 17C. I had chased from my workplace in Owego, shot him in Campville and here, and now had a five minute trip home. Note the semaphore behind the covered hopper, 7th head car.

BUAL
Title:  BUAL
Description:  Conrail changed the symbol on its train running the Lehigh Line several times over the years. For a while in the early 90s it was BUAL, originating at Frontier Yard in Buffalo, running the Tier to Waverly, down the connection to Sayre, then east on the ex LV to Allentown. Here it is rolling 69 cars into Gang Mills, seen from the overpass at the west end of the yard. Thats NY 417/US 15 in the distance, an expressway that connected with NY 17 at Gang Mills, and ended just south of the exit for Addison. Now it is part of I 99, running on the alignment of US 15 all the way to Williamsport.
