Coal east
Title:  Coal east
Description:  For as much intermodal and general freight that ran on the Chicago Line, there was still a fair amount of coal, such as this 82 car UDK 516 at CP 433. Check out those code lines!!

OIBU on the river
Title:  OIBU on the river
Description:  OIBU runs along the Susquehanna at one of my favorite spots with a long cut of empty hoppers head out. Sometimes, rather than have the cars wait for the next Goudy coal train, Conrail would run them back to Buffalo on OIBU, then forward them from there in regular trains.

Blowing through Barton
Title:  Blowing through Barton
Description:  OIBU rolls past a hay field at speed with a big cut of P&S hoppers head out. They'll go to the Buffalo & Pittsburgh at Salamanca, forwarded on an empty hopper train, or OIEL from Gang Mills.

Into the shadows
Title:  Into the shadows
Description:  OIBU rolls west at Endicott, late enough in the day so that the sun is casting a shadow from the trees. The lead unit has just made it into the shade, but the trailing power is still lit.
