ML 401 mix
Title:  ML 401 mix
Description:  ML 401 was the train that ran mostly empty auto racks from Doremus Av unloading facility in Newark to Buffalo via the Tier. Today it has 44 general freight ahead of its 48 racks, so either the merchandise was really light and they combined it with OIBU, or it was really heavy and this was overflow. We see it at Waverly passing the iconic Ted Clarks Busy Market, which was still there when I visited this past July.

Frozen
Title:  Frozen
Description:  No, not the Disney feature!! In this case, its the Chemung River, which we see at left from the connector bridge at Wellsburg in this view of ML 401 approaching the automatic signal 266-1. In another month, the weather will warm up enough to cause a lot of snow melt, which will put the river at the bottom of this bridge, helping create a massive ice dam.
