Should get a good roll
Title:  Should get a good roll
Description:  Train 413 is pulling past the Agway mill at BX, the rear of his train clearing BD and the Southern Tier Line, passing the power for D 22, a pair of D&H GP 38's today. He has only 48 cars today, with plenty of power. This should be an easy trip to the tunnel, if there is such a thing.

Title:  Through the fence
Description:  Im on the Lester Av overpass, shooting through the chain link as 167 gets its 116 cars underway out of Binghamton, passing some old E-J buildings as it enters Johnson City. They're gone now, a Wal Mart standing in their place. Ill follow him to Elmira.

Passing OG
Title:  Passing OG
Description:  Train 167 rolls past McMaster St, where the DLW Ithaca Branch crossed the Erie, at OG tower, now long removed, as the DLW line came out in 1965, though the connection from the Lackawanna main across the river had been moved here in the consolidation of facilities in 1959. The DLW line also crossed the Lehigh Valley(todays Owego & Harford) just north of here. This part of Owego was a busy place 65 years ago.

Big power on the Chemung
Title:  Big power on the Chemung
Description:  A 167 with lots of power rolls across the Chemung river with 116 cars in tow. All SD40 consists were not uncommon in this time period, though six units was more than typical.

Past OG
Title:  Past OG
Description:  CP 167 passes the site of Eries OG tower. It guarded the crossing of the DLW Ithaca Branch, which intersected first the Erie, approximately where the McMaster St pedestrian crossing is located-see the gates in front of the third car, then the LV Auburn Branch. The Ithaca Branch left the DLW main just west of the Owego station, which was located where the off ramp for exit 64 off westbuond NY 17 is now.

The Tier, a semaphore and an empty path
Title:  The Tier, a semaphore and an empty path
Description:  CP train 557 rolls west on the Tier, taking its 21 cars past one of the classic Erie semaphores at MP 247. The empty path to the left of the tracks is the roadbed of the Lehigh Valley Auburn Branch, which ran next to the Erie most of the way from Sayre to Owego. It was pulled up after CR startup in 1976.

Description:  SOO power leads a monster!167-todays train had 99 freight and 56 stack platforms-into the sun as seen from the shoulder of NY 417 just east of Addison. This shot can only be done late in the day. Usually the sun is on the other side of the train.

Getting started
Title:  Getting started
Description:  I dont recall now if I was on a day off, or this was just after work. I had regular hours, but they differed every day. This was taken on a Tuesday, so its likely it was my day off. We start close to home, on the tangent near MP 232 between Campville and Owego, with the red face of a SOO SD leading 167 west into the sun.

Long jump
Title:  Long jump
Description:  After getting the 167 at Campville, I jumped down to Smithboro, about 13 miles, taking NY 17 to exit 62, since there was no way I was beating him through Owego. I didnt want to risk getting scooped at Tioga Center, so I ran down to the west end of Smithboro, where the tracks come up to the road.

Wide view
Title:  Wide view
Description:  The next jump was an easy one. I just had to step on it. This is the view from NY 17C near the Tioga transfer station at MP 249 between Barton and Waverly. It was a good "grab and go" spot. The third unit is a classic, one of SOO's original SD 40's.

East side
Title:  East side
Description:  If a train was going fast enough, or I got stuck behind some slowpoke-its amazing the number of people who drive like they just dont care if they ever get where theyre going-I usually could not beat a train to downtown Waverly with its model railroad like buildings. So I had to go with other options. In this case, I grabbed the shot from about where the Tier crossed over the Ithaca Secondary, the former LV main. A SOO unit heading into the sun with a big train(99 freight, and 56 stack platforms) looks good in the late afternoon

Barn on the bridge
Title:  Barn on the bridge
Description:  A CP red barn leads train 165 over the high bridge and Wylie Creek with 94 cars. The D&H was noted in its later years for having a multitude of paint schemes, so much so that it was hard to find a train with a matched set of power. It was perhaps fitting that CP should take them over; they did not seem to match the sets either-this train has three units, three paint schemes. Or is it the D&H influence on CP that's showing??

Alcos on 390
Title:  Alcos on 390
Description:  Train 390 rolls east along Watson Blvd in Endwell behind an SD40 and a pair of 6 axle MLWs. This was an unusual consist, as these trains originated in Minneapolis and usually got SOO power. Today's train is short for a 390, with only 60 cars.

BC Open
Title:  BC Open
Description:  Train 557 rolls under the NY 17C bridge west of Endicott, the one that welcomes participants and visitors the the BC Open, held at that time in September every year. Don't let that string of trailer flats fool you; the train ends just beyond the curve. Today's effort was only 15 cars.

Tunkhannock Viaduct
Title:  Tunkhannock Viaduct
Description:  DLW built this in 1915 to span the Tunkhannock Creek valley after rejecting a fill at this location. Its massive, and still the largest steel reinfoced concrete structure in the world. In some ways its hard to shoot a train here, as the bridge dwarfs anything on it-not that I wont try!! Heres 164 going across.

Flags and a visitor
Title:  Flags and a visitor
Description:  The flags were not a big deal. Even after CP stopped repainting its diesels in the "Dual Flags" scheme, they showed up in it for some time after. The visitor was the second unit. While not unheard of on CP, Guilford power was something of an anomaly. This set is northbound on 413 at Depot Rd

Description:  Train 254 is out of Binghamton and headed for Jersey with 30 stack platforms and 4 COFC behind a pair of SD40s, one a CP unit, the other a GATX leaser passing Willow Run Foods in Kirkwood. This was not an uncommon event, as NYSW often took run through power to Jersey on stack trains.

Showing the flag
Title:  Showing the flag
Description:  The maple leaf, that is. The first train to come through with CP power was this 42 car acid train, symbolled 700, which ran from Montreal to Baltimore. We see it rolling south out of East Binghamton at Shaw Rd behind a trio of CP SD 40s, power we would become quite accustomed to over the next 20 years.
