The other shot |
| Description: |
Tioga Center was known for the pair of semaphores that were opposite each other at the Ayres Rd crossing a mile of so east of this location, and that was "the" shot there. I always loved the cormfield and hills, but the lighting didnt usually favor that shot, since the train was going to be dark almost all the time. I took advantage of one of the Southern Tiers many cloudy days to get 261 there in more even light. |

No, its not Wisconsin |
| Description: |
A trio of SOO units lead 253 north at Bainbridge. Its an interesting mix of power, with one of SOOs 5 SD60Ms leading, and a pair of straight SD60's for power. The now closed Jennison power plant rises in the background. This scene has changed over the years. Note how the trees have grown up compared to shots taken in the 80s elsewhere in this album. |

Old style AC |
| Description: |
The AC must not have been working on this hot afternoon, as the nose door is open on the SD60M leader. Its working hard at Nowlan Rd, making its way to Belden Tunnel with train 253 in charge of three SOO units. |

Shooting wide |
| Description: |
The same 110 car 413, with a wider view this time, allowing a better look at the power, a mix of CP in several schemes, and a classic SOO white unit. Leader 5690 will be repainted yet again, this time into a bright red "golden rodent" scheme. |
