Not much difference
Title:  Not much difference
Description:  CP 419 rolls west at Hayes Av in Endicott in a scene not far removed from its last appearance in EL days 30 years earlier. In another decade, this scene will change dramatically as NS single tracks the line between JC and Owego.

Changing scene
Title:  Changing scene
Description:  This view of 419 from Lester Av in Johnson City is notable not so much for the train, but how much has changed in the area over the years. The piles of dirt beyond the train were once the Endicott Johnson Paracord plant. That area will become a Wal Mart in a few years. Progress, I suppose, but not necessarily improvement. The SD 40s powering the train, like the EJ plant, will soon become a memory.

Erie classic
Title:  Erie classic
Description:  The Erie used a variety of signals along their route. They are best remembered on the Tier by the semaphores, some of which lasted into the NS era. They also used searchlights, "traffic light" and these tri light clusters, such as this one at Hiawatha Road in Owego, which is watching CP 419 roll west with 25 cars.
