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. |

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. |
