Eastbound with NS power |
| Description: |
KCS partners with NS east of Meridian Miss, so its not uncommon to see NS power all the way to Dallas. Here an eastbound behind a pair of horses rolls toward a meet with a westbound. The leader is a former Conrail unit. |

Clean UP unit |
| Description: |
Im not sure what this unit was doing here. It appears to be on 12T, judging by the ex CR unit behind it. It was the cleanest UP paing job Ive ever seen on power that was not factory fresh. |

Hiding in the bushes |
| Description: |
13T rolls out of the shrubbery at west Endicott with 60 cars behind an eclectic mix of power, typical for this train. The foliage in the northeast gets heave, as we see here, so much that it can be a real hindrance to photography. |

Waited a long time for this |
| Description: |
Train 205 rolls across the Chemung River just after the sun dipped too low to light up the train. My friend Sam Botts and I had stood on the Main St bridge for about an hour anticipating a 13T with some kind of off line power. We were a little surprised when 205 showed. It was really cold that day-low 20s-and now almost dark. We called it quits after this. Thats railfanning!! |

Coal train |
| Description: |
Coal trains to AES Milliken Station north of Ithaca on the ex LV followed Conrails pattern in the NS era, running off the Southern Tier at Waverly onto the connection the the ex LV at Sayre, running the power around the train, then going north. Here we see a train that has just had the power cut off to change ends. Note the number boards on the lead unit, an ex LMS lease unit, with their CNJ typeface. |

CNJ number boards |
| Description: |
The leader on this coal train to Milliken has an unusual typeface for power in this era. It looks starkly reminiscent of the font the Jersey Central used. Nothing wrong with that!! |

Odd arrangement |
| Description: |
This is 12T, which apparently was picked up by Taylor-Binghamton train 513, and tacked onto the rear. My guess is 12Ts crew outlawed, and this was how the train got to Binghamton for a Tier crew. |
