Down the valley
Title:  Down the valley
Description:  This shot near Adrian was one of many scenic locations in the Canisteo valley. It was always a good chase there, with many good shots to be had. The locals, as seen here, seemed oblivious to the passing show. Today's episode is train 557, rolling behind museum power with 20 stack platforms, 7 TOFC and 13 freight.

Cemetery
Title:  Cemetery
Description:  For some reason, cemeteries always make an attractive train photo, perhaps because trains are so noisy and full of life, just the opposite of the serenity of a graveyard. Train 557 rolls past the small cemetery in Adrian.

Power change
Title:  Power change
Description:  This 553 train left Binghamton with CP 5646 leading. it must have crapped out somewhere on Belden Hill and this GP9 leader was brought up from Binghamton, or swapped off 556. Still, it looks good in clean paint, even if the delay has now put the train almost in darkness, now rolling on past GR with its 82 cars.
