Under the signals
Title:  Under the signals
Description:  CP 167 rolls 101 cars under the signals at Johnson, while 41T waits out of the photo at right. This was West BD on EL and for the first dozen or so years of Conrail. NS has installed new PTC compatible signals, as well as single tracking the line from here to Owego. The track in the foreground is the Vestal Spur, once the DLW main to Buffalo, and at this date-June 2016-with a clouded future.

Look who's first
Title:  Look who's first
Description:  Typically, the home road would favor its own trains over trackage rights operators. Not so today, as CP train 167 rolls through Johnson on track 1 as 41T waits on the Johnson Runner, in the background.

Interesting power
Title:  Interesting power
Description:  SD40 types?? Really?? This train has two that are interesting to CP fans. The middle unit is the obvious one, an SD40-2F "red barn". The lead unit is one of the six acquired from the KCS, repainted and renumbered in the 5400s. The trailing unit?? Just run of the mill 40-2. The train is coming off the Susquehanna River bridge and about to cross under Conklin Av and enter East Binghamton yard.

167
Title:  167
Description:  One of the less seen locations is between Chemung and Wellsburg, along NY 427. Its easy enough to get to, you just have to pass up the easy overhead shot at Chemung-or get it and go like hell to beat the train there, and hope there are no slowpokes.
