Pushers in paradise |
| Description: |
I have always felt upstate NY is one of the most beautiful places anywhere. Its easy to see why in this scene of PLMTs pushers, a set of 45s, roll across the stone arch over NY 7, seen though the expanse of farmland. |

Wish I had that house |
| Description: |
PLMT, a Mt Tom coal train, rolls north as the pushers work hard to keep it moving uphill. The folks in the house up there on the hill are getting a great show as the train snakes past Nowlan Rd and through town. |

The helper set is about to cut off at the tunnel, having pushed the train over the top of the grade. This is the cleanest I ever saw the 3638. |

Rare widecab |
| Description: |
SOO had five SD60Ms, which occasionally made their way to the east. It was always good to see them, especially in the lead, which was unusual. Got lucky this day, as 164 rolls through Bevier St with not only the SOO widecab, but a WC unit as well. The irony is that WC was a SOO predecessor, but is now part of the CN system. |

Snow is no object |

BUOI rolls east past CP CAM as the snow falls. We didnt let weather stop us as a rule, and I chased many days where I used several gallons of windshield wash to combat the salt. Today wasnt too bad, only about 4" snow. |
