OIBU around the curve |
| Description: |
After a long more or less straight run along the George F Highway from JC, the railroad took a hard turn to the right as it entered Endwell. This was a 45 MPH curve in EL days, when the sseed here was 50. A pair of new C40-8Ws roll into it as they head for Elmira and Buffalo. |

ELOI and new power |
| Description: |
ELOI runs alongside NY 17C with a pair of new C40s and 33 cars. This train was notable in that ELOI only sporadically got east of Gang Mills-it usually terminated there, its cars forwarded by BUOI; and that it had new power. The train usually got a motley assortment of whatever was available at Elkhart, though sometimes that was western units off UP connections. |

Gas station grab |
| Description: |
BUOI rolls its 48 cars out of the curve at Endwell, starting along the George F Highway. I was getting gas at the Hess station there. Hearing the train blow for Avenue B, just to the west, I was able to grab my camera and get the shot. That gas station is a used car lot now. It was a great place to stop for gas if you needed to keep an eye on the tracks. |

BUOI heading east |
| Description: |
BUOI has worked Gang Mills yard and is now heading east for Elmira and Binghamton with 51 cars. This was Eries, and later ELs yard in the Corning area. The track going out of the picture to the far left is the connection to the ex NYC line to Jersey Shore PA. That line originally ran on the other side of the Tioga River at this point. The connection was put in when the Erie and NYC were relocated out of downtown in 1951. |

Down the low track |
| Description: |
The junction at the west end of Rockville bridge was a classic example of PRR grade separation, with tracks on a couple of levels. This one was a good way to "sneak in" a train from the west, on this track that dipped under the west end of the bridge, and avoided some of the conflict that occurred with other simultaneous moves. A new C40-8W leads this train into Enola. Looks like a U23B is the trailing unit. |

One of the easier views along NY 17C was this shot from the shoulder looking across a field. It was an open shot, good for a westbound, and had the added bonus of signa 251-1, one of the many semaphores still in service on the line then. DABU ahs four units and 103 cars today. |

Attica hotel |
| Description: |
No, not the one youre thinking about, which is about a mile or so to the east and a group of low buildings, unlike Elmira or Auburn. DABU rolls past downtown Attica and the home signal for the double track that goes east to Linden. Attica was also the junction for the Alexander Branch that was a western entrance to Rochester. |

Used to be busier |
| Description: |
DABU rolls 87 racks through the interlocking at CP Attica. The home signals on the double mast at left control the Groveland Industrial Track, which used a combination of the ex EL Attica Branch and the DLW main to reach Groveland, and the Dansville & Mt Morris. The EL line was not set up the same, as this line ran 52.5 miles to Rochester, with the line to Groveland diverging at North Alexander. Some of the EL went to Livonia Avon & Lakeville, and a lot of it is now completely gone. This is also the west end of the siding that extends east five miles to Linden. |

Not long for the world |
| Description: |
DABU rolls past an eastbound track semaphore as it makes its way along the old Erie in the Canisteo valley. Track 1, which the train is on, will be taken up the following year when the line is single tracked from Hornell to Waverly, leaving sidings at Cameron, Gang Mills yard, and Elmira. The numerous semaphores here will be eliminated, removing a historic part of the eastern rail scene. |

The D&H main is gone |
| Description: |
Conrail was engaged in a program to single track the Tier from CP River, approximately where old NT tower was on the EL-the junction of the Buffalo Sub and the River Line to Cuba Jct-east to Waverly. At the date of this photo, they had removed track 2 from River to Cass St in Hornell, unaffectionately known by crews as the "D&H Main" due to the Conrail dispatchers tendency to route those trains on the 10 MPH track, rather than on the faster track 1. DABU heads west on now the only track, seen from the NY 70 overpass east of Canaseraga, where the line had a grade separated profile. |
