Rolling out of Union Station
Title:  Rolling out of Union Station
Description:  Most people dont think of Utica as being a "union station" since in their experience it handles only Amtrak. For a period in the 1980s and 90s, it truly fit that description, handling not only Amtrak, but also trains to the 1980 Olympics, and the occasional NYSW excursion. The station is to the far right, out of the photo behind the white building. The ex NYC is to the left of the train; you can see the ex NYC tower just beyond the lead unit. I wonder if anyone took advantage of the connection for this trip.

Classic building
Title:  Classic building
Description:  A sad testimony to the decline of upstate NY is the number of once busy industrial buildings that have fallen on hard times, or simply just fallen down. The ones that are in good shape make great photo props, though. The U&MV trip passes the Waterville Knitting Mills, a business that long ago went south-literally-with the work most likely now done in China or Mexico.
