Once a busy place
Title:  Once a busy place
Description:  A 96 car XCL coal train rolls past the Erie station at Addison, one of several still standing at this date(it was still up in 2015). The empty space in the foreground has a story of its own. This was once an interchange point between the Erie and the B&O, later to be the Wellsville Addison & Galeton. The primary traffic here was leather, which came off the WAG going to the Triple Cities, which had numerous shoe plants run by Endicott Johnson. I knew a man who had grown up in Endicott in the 1950s who told me that Erie had switchers on three tricks at EJ during that period; that being the case, the interchange here must have been phenominal.

Late afternoon in the valley
Title:  Late afternoon in the valley
Description:  A 96 car XCL empty coal train rolls past the former Agway mill between Erwins and Addison. This part of the railroad has not seen a lot of upgrades, as can be seen by the pole line and jointed rail. Put an EL SDP45 here, it would be right at home.
