We chased an eastbound detour train, probably Q 156, or possibly Q 404, I didnt note the symbol, to Susquehanna, then caught this Q 271 there going back. We were able to grab this shot along PA 171 where the tracks go away from the road at Red Rock. Thats my then girlfriend, now wife, Diane, getting a shot of the action too. |

Gloomy day action |
Description: |
It had rained for over a week here, and the clouds were not inclined to break up. After about 8" of rain had fallen, we went out to see how things were doing regarding flooding, which was causing problems in places. We wound up in Watts, just as the southbound Q train was arriving. He stopped at the yard office, the power right behind on the main. Looks like a visitor from afar today, too. |

Milliken coal |

The coal trains to NYSEGs Milliken Station, north of Ithaca, though there were usually three up and down in any given week, ran on an irregular basis, and could show at any time, so it was always a treat to find one. This 125 car train bound for the power plant is northbound behind a leader that is familiar with the territory as it rolls through West Danby on the ex LV. |
