Along the pole line |
| Description: |
Train 419-it ran to Buffalo and Toronto the days 167 didnt run, though this day's effort still has 18 stack platforms along with its 112 cars-rolls west along the George F Highway and the Erie pole line into the afternoon sun. NS would single track this ten years later, and remove the poles. It opened up the shot, but took away one of the things that made this line interesting. |

Sailing through the corn |
| Description: |
The open field at Hiawatha Road in Owego rotates crops. This season it was growing corn, giving the appearance that passing trains were just riding on top of it. Heres CP 419 with 112 cars and 18 intermodal platforms passing the agricultural splendor. |

419 in the gloom |
| Description: |
Its one of my favorite spots, but the Tier gloom sometimes can even make a pretty spot dull. The red CP power helps, though, as 419 works west along the Susquehanna with three CPs and a SOO unit and 48 cars. |

Fields of gold |
| Description: |
I have always liked Stings song by that title; it fits so well in a rural scene like this. Train 419 rolls past the gold of a dying cornfield along NY 17C west of Tioga Center with 43 cars for Buffalo. |

Four 40s with a surprise |
| Description: |
A set of 4 SD40-2s, not uncommon at the time, has a surprise. The second unit is one of the NS ex Southern units they made into a cabless locomotive by removing the controls and blanking the windows. This is train 418 arriving from Buffalo with 48 cars. |
