Dodging the shadows |
| Description: |
The great thing about Tioga Center was the semaphores; the down side was the hill to the west of the tracks, which made them go into shadow early. I had to dodge the shadows to get the power lit, meaning I had to pass up the "through the goalposts" signal shot. Still the blade on track 2 has not started to drop yet, and it can be seen above the lead stack. |

Going downtown |
| Description: |
The ex LV in Ithaca has several blocks of street side running. Its limited to 10 MPH, and caused real havoc with traffic, especially at rush hours. This empty train came through just at dusk, tying up town for 15 minutes. In the late 1990s, a new bridge/interchange for NY 79, 89, and 96 was built, crossing the tracks and largely eliminating the problem. |

Coal east and a special signal |
| Description: |
A UNG coal train bound for NYSEG at Johnson City rolls east at Campville. The signal at right is notable for its hot box warning light, which is seen below the signal head. There was a hot box detector a mile to the east at MP 230.48 on track 1. If there was a hit, it would change the signal here to yellow, and the light underneath would light up with "hot box". It would also change the next signal, 233-1, at Hiawatha Road about 1.5 mile west, to red. That signal also had a hot box light. This detector predated the radio alarm detectors common nowadays, and the axle temps would read out on a tape in the Hornell dispatchers office. The train would have to call the dispatcher, who would review the tape, and tell the crew which axles to check. I saw this about a month after this photo. I was chasing TV 201 here when the signal dropped to approach, and the hot box light went on. Interesting system. |

Work train |
| Description: |
The guys who make it possible for the coal train to run go east on track 1 at Campville in a blaze of color as the JC coal train waits. The railfan chase vehicle is at far right. I was a route driver for a commercial laundry, which allowed me some freedom to watch the action while working. I didn't waste an opportunity. |
