Stacks in the fog |
| Description: |
An early October morning finds TV 301 heading west at Hiawatha Rd in Owego, passing signal 233-1, which wouod be removed when the new radio alarm detector was installed at Tioga Center a few years later. If you look closely, you can see the extra light below the main head. This light diplays "hot box" if the detector at Campville, MP 230, gets a hit on a hot axle, and would set the signal red. I only saw it happen once. |

Pumping air |
| Description: |
OIBU has pulled down to West BD after doing its Binghamton work, and is now pumping air and waiting for the conductor to reach the head end. Once everything is complete, it will head for its next stop in Elmira. The track going off to the right is the ex DLW main. This is where it ties in to the ex Erie, now CRs Southern Tier Line. |

Erie seemed to be unable to settle on a single type of hardward for their signals.

Another twist was this high and low pair at Belmont, seen with an XBP coal train. |

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!! |
