Well, maybe not paradise. But it does make for a good photo. TV 301 with 160 platforms of APL containers approaches the PA 191 bridge in Great Bend, a short ride up the river remaining to Binghamton. |

Down the Lehigh |
| Description: |
This going away shot of CGAL shows it on the connection from the ex EL Southern Tier Line(in the foreground) to the Lehigh Line. The steel bridge it is about to cross is NY 17. The train will be in Sayre PA on the ex LV in a few minutes. It will work the yard there, picking up and setting out for RELCO, a contract freight car rebuilder working out of the ex LV shop, and for local WAIT 2, which works the Ithaca Branch, the remaining portion of the LV Main and Passenger Main to Ithaca via Van Etten Jct. Despite an easy connection here, the EL and LV did not interchange at this location as a rule, and this was used mostly for detour moves prior to Conrail. Also note: see the comment below regarding the Elmira, Cortland & Northern, an LV component whose isolated track in Elmira was reached via trackage rights over the Erie/EL via this connection. |

Arrows to Hornell |
| Description: |
Morrison Knudsen was rebuilding a variety of transit and commuter cars at the ex Erie shops in Hornell in the mid 90s. Subway cars were loaded on TTX flats and handled on OIBU and Buoi, but commuter cars were moved in special trains, such as this one approaching Owego. |

| Description: |

These units were almost exclusive to the River and Boston Lines, as they were based out of Selkirk. This one got to Oak Island and strayed. |

OIBU in the late afternoon |
| Description: |
OIBU was a pretty reliable afternoon train at Binghamton, which made for some great lighting, such as on todays train, working QD yard. The steel structire at right is a Marconi tower. The Lackawanna RR was an early experimenter with radio communication, and had erected the tower to transmit from the station to trains in 1913. There is a NY State historical marker to note its significance. |

Great view |
| Description: |
One of the more panoramic views of the Tier, but a hard one to get, since you could only get this shot sunlit late in the day in the summer, and there was no place convenient to park, was this shot of the line from the hill on Watson Blvd as it approached Endwell. When it worked, it was a great shot. Here it is with OIBU rolling west with 41 cars on a Friday bfternoon. |

ML 401 mix |
| Description: |
ML 401 was the train that ran mostly empty auto racks from Doremus Av unloading facility in Newark to Buffalo!via the Tier. Today it has 44 general freight ahead of its 48 racks, so either the merchandise was really light and they combined it with OIBU, or it was really heavy and this was overflow. We see it at Waverly passing the iconic Ted Clarks Busy Market, which was still there when I visited this past July. |

In another month, the weather will warm up enough to cause a!lot of snow melt, which will put the river at the bottom of this bridge, helping create a massive ice dam. |

OIEL western connection |
| Description: |
For a few days, there was UP power on the Tier. This was not that common. Conrail must have been really short at Elkhart for the western power to go this far east. Today is is returning, a CR SD 50 leading the ex MP general service SD40-2 and 34 cars. |

Hot train |
| Description: |
One of the hottest trains on the system was TVLA, a through connection to Santa Fe that became their 198 train to Los Angeles. Together, CR and ATSF combined for a transit of apporximately 76 hours coast to coast. This one is a big train, 91 trailer flats for the Santa Fe. Check out the Saab in the parking lot. |

Slowly through town |
| Description: |
WAIT 2 rolls south past the Food King parking lot, adhering to the 10 MPH speed limit through downtown, pulling a line of salt cars from the Cargill mine up on Cayuga Lake. Of note is the trailing unit, one of CR's ten C32-8's. These were a Conrail only model, and spent most of their time on the Boston and River Lines, and rarely strayed. Finding this one in Ithaca was a real catch. |
