Local switching |
| Description: |
BUOI and OIBU, though they were through trains, did switch customers at locations not served by locals, mostly on the Delaware Division. This BUOI is working at a feed mill in Arkport in the snow, which must have been a delight for the ground man. I can't help picturing a set of EL GP 7's handling this task. |

Hi-low |
| Description: |
Erie seemed to be unable to settle on a single type of hardward for their signals. They had searchlights, tri light clusters, traffic light types, and of course the many semaphores that were still in service at the date of this photo. Another twist was this high and low pair at Belmont, seen with an XBP coal train. |

Used to be busy here |
| Description: |
A Conrail XBP empty coal train on the Meadville Line, once ELs Mahoning Division 4th sub, crosses the ex Pennsy Buffalo Line, also a Conrail operation, at the location of X tower. Now, the tower is long gone, and its CP Olean. At one time, this was a busy place, with several dozen train per day, most of them EL. There will be half a dozen moves here today, maybe. |

Once busy, now a memory |
| Description: |
An XBP coal train passes Cuba Jct, once a much busier place than it is at the date of this photo. The train is on the Meadville Line, going from single track to double for the 11 miles into Olean. There were eastbound and westbound sidings here in Erie days. The empty roadbed to the left was the Erie/EL River Line, which followed the Genesee River to NT tower, near Hunt, where it joined the Buffalo Sub. It crossed the river near Belfast on one of Eries massive steel bridges. A busy route when it was EL-it was the preferred route for most frieghts, since it had a much better gradient than the main line through Wellsville-it was abandoned almost immediately after Conrail startup. They dynamited the bridge in the early 80s. Of note, and not visible in this photo, the PRR also had a branch to Rochester that left the Buffalo Line at Olean, and passed under the River Line just east of here, taking a river level route up through Letchworth Park. |

Used to be X tower |
| Description: |
The tower actually stood across the EL, in the northwest quadrant of the crossing, a half mile west of the Olean station. CR tore it down early in its existence when they were working furiously to downgrade the former EL lines. It really wasnt needed after the CR startup anyway, since traffic here declined from several dozen trains/day to a handful on both lines. It almost could have been made an automatic interlocking. So a once elegant towers work is now done by a guy a couple hundred miles away, and a metal box. Ah, progress!! |
