Unusual signal |
| Description: |
The signal itself is not that big a deal for the Southern Tier-there were lots of semaphores up til NS took over. Whats unusual is that its showing approach, an aspect not often seen, largely due to its short duration. Here OIBU passes on a gloomy afternoon in May with a whopping 36 cars. |

Subway car pick up |
| Description: |
BUOI couples to the flats loaded with NYCTA subway cars just shoved out of the MK plant, and will now back to the rest of its train, which it dropped west of Cass St. Once theyre back together, its off to Gang Mills and Jersey. There are two notable units in the consist. The second unit, 6840, is a former EMD SD 60 demonstrator. The third unit is one of the only ten C32-8's built. They usually were seen only on the River and Boston Lines, so this one is a stray. |

Snowy day |
| Description: |
Conrails stack business had grown rapidly since it started running trains for APL nine years earlier. This TV 207X was a reflection of that growth, an extra section of a train that normally ran via the West Shore. Today there were 146 stack platforms, a typical length for these trains. |

OIBU |
| Description: |
This area has seen a lot of changes. You wouldnt know it from this photo, but there was a double track main line to the left of the train up til 1959, that of the Lackawanna. Gone without a trace, 33 years later. The bridge in the foreground would be replaced with a culvert in a couple of years when Conrail single tracked the line here. Today's view is of OIBU, a short 24 cars of it, seen from the NY 352 overpass. |

Along the rocks |
| Description: |
The set up here at Gibson is rock wall, Southern Tier Line, now on the Lackawanna alignment, NY 17 on the Erie alignment, with the Chemung River, out of the picture, to the far right. When New York state built the 4 lane here, there were a lot of changes made to the landscape. As it was, this was the location where the Erie and DLW met and ran side by side to Horseheads, and to some extent, all the way to Binghamton. After 1959, the DLW was abandoned between here and the west side of Binghamton, taking the Erie between the two places. |

Between the signals |
| Description: |
The same BUOI we saw at Arkport now passes CP Corning after working at Gang Mills. Hes shed some power, now with only his two lead units, the trailing two dropped at Gang Mills yard. Note the curved concrete on the bridge at far left. This is the 1951 alignment that moved the tracks out of the city. The Erie station built at that time was at this location, the platform between the two main tracks, as can be seen from the space that still exists there. The building was down below at street level, with a parking lot at the end of one of the local streets. It was torn down about the time of this photo. The DLW was adjacent to the present tracks, on the right. It was abandoned after the EL merger in 1960. This location was formerly known as West Glass, and was the end of the west leg of the wye that was formed by this connection to the Corning Secondary, which went north from this point to join the Chciago Line at Lyons. |

One of the great places to watch trains on the Chicago Line was the NY Barge Canal Lock 10 at Cranseville. Lots of room to picnic, and the action was almost constant. Here TV 12 rolls east with a standard set of power for the time. Trailing are 36 stack platforms and 66 TOFC. Theres a JB Hunt container at far left of the frame. I didnt know it then, but four months later I would be pulling those all over the eastern half of the country. |

Loon line |
| Description: |
DABU rolls west at West Cameron. There were a pair of semaphores there, but not directly across from each other. I was out with some friends that day. They elected to set up by the eastbound signal for the shot. Typical for the time-always fans out on the Tier. |

Heading straight on for you |

TV 202 rolls right under my spot on the NY 17C bridge. The new bridge has a chain link fence that can be worked around, but its not as good as the old bridge, which had no fence. It also had no shoulder.... |

D&H connection |
| Description: |
After the departure of CSX from the Buffalo market via the ex B&O, the Sea Land trains went via a CR route to Chicago. This was a big time saver over the B&O via Pittsburgh. This 46 platform eastbound will go onto the D&H at Buffalo and become their 254, going to NYSW at Binghamton. |
