Golden glow
Title:  Golden glow
Description:  I was headed to work one morning, came down the hill from my house to find this 253 going past Campville. I beat it to the straightaway from MP 231 to 232, and was able to get it coming out of the sun as it passed signa; 231-1. Kinda artsy, but I like it.

SU 100
Title:  SU 100
Description:  SU 100 was the trackage rights train that started it all. When NYSW got the ex DLW Syracuse and Utica lines in 1982, they negotiated trackage rights from Passaic Jct to Binghamton over Conrail to move cars from one part of the operation to the other. Those trains were symbolled SU 99 west and SU 100 east. This SU 100 is getting ready to roll to Jersey with the usual non stack traffic. There must not have been an eastbound stack that day; NYSW usually added cars at Binghamton to any stacks going to Jersey.

Combined effort
Title:  Combined effort
Description:  Sometimes if there were not enough cars for two trains, 558 and 270 would be combined out of Buffalo. Such is the case here, as the 105 car train has power for both of its components, 270s power ahead, with 558s two CP units trailing. We see it at East Hornell, where it is about to meet a hi-wide Conrail extra.

Ayres Rd
Title:  Ayres Rd
Description:  The other end, not the one youre familiar with. The Tioga Center semaphores were at the east end of Ayres Rd. The west end once crossed the tracks on the bridge seen here, but the bridge was closed in the late 80s when it needed significant repair. The Erie had build a number of these bridges over local roads, but never really did much to maintain them. Once they became deficient, there was a lot of finger pointing with the county or town over whose responsibility it was to fix it. Since no one wanted to spend the money-and Conrail surely wasnt-most of them were closed. It would have made a good place to shoot pictures from had the deck not been removed.

View from the bridge
Title:  View from the bridge
Description:  One of the good things about the Cut Off was the grade separation. There were no crossings from Clarks Summit to Halstead. There were a number of overhead bridges, such as this one on PA 706 just south of New Milford, which provided good vantage points for photos. PYRP rolls under behind a we-ain't-mad-at-nobody consist on a gloomy Sunday.
