Coming at us |
| Description: |
The focus for this day of railfanning was TV 203, which I and a couple of friends had picked up in Owego. We chased to Attica(about 165 miles), a little longer than usual-we typically turned back at Silver Springs, since chasing west of there was problematic due to back roads, a few inconveniently placed crossings, and a long 30 MPH speed limit and a No Turn On Red in Warsaw. We encountered several other trains along the way, among them this ELOI rolling 60 cars east past the semaphore on track 1 in Rathbone. |

Semphore dropping |
| Description: |
A 109 car UNG coal train for NYSEG in Johnson City passes the semaphore at Waverly, which has dropped to approach, then stop. This signal action was one of the things that made them so cool to see. |

All the way from Nebraska |
| Description: |
A mixed EMD-GE duo leads 95 cars of NPSE through the Utica station. The train originated on UP in North Platte, and frequently got UP and CNW power through to Selkirk, though usually not when I saw it. |

Night at the Erie freight house |
| Description: |
CR 6611, a C32-8 unique to Conrail, sits outside the office in the old Erie freight house as it gets its switching orders. C 32-8s were uncommon here, as they were based out of Selkirk, and typically were found on the Boston Line over the Berkshires. |

CR goes, D&H waits |
| Description: |
That was the way it always happened, even if it stabbed the D&H. In this case, CR is doing it right, as the northbound coming out of the yard will take a while to clear BD and the speed restricted curve going up to Bevier St. OIBU passes BD and will quickly be working the yard while PYRP takes its time. |

One from the road |
