Buy US Savings Bonds
Title:  Buy US Savings Bonds
Description:  Conrail had a couple of units painted to encourage purchase of US Savings Bonds. One of them leads ML 440 as seen from the overpass at Hunt, just east of the Portage Bridge. The signal alongside the train was a semaphore til a couple of years earlier; up til then there were a pair of them here. When track 2 was lifted, the signal was replaced with a Type G cluster signal. The roadbed of former track 2 has been graded and ballasted to make a maintenance road.

B boats
Title:  B boats
Description:  A westbound merchandise train, probably SETO judging by the auto parts cars head out, passes Syracuse with a B40 and a B36. The Albany Division was GE Central in those days, as Selkirk was a major GE shop, with several hundred units assigned there, including all the C30-7A's. Seeing 4 axle units was common on both road and yard assignments. Amtrak is peeking around the corner, coming in for its stop.

Title:  Preview
Description:  We were all at Starrucca waiting for the Southern Tier picnic train to show, hoping the fog would lift. It did, right around 0830. Shortly, there was a horn up at Germantown Rd, and everyone keyed up for the Es. What we got was an appetizer, this TV 201X behind a labor/management B40. A nice shot, even if not E units.

Description:  Though Conrail typically used its B36, B 40, and a variety of six axle units on the priority trains, sometimes it was a case of "whatever runs." This must have been one of those days, as an aging GP 38 is in the lead.

Rolling past Cass St
Title:  Rolling past Cass St
Description:  BUOI rolls into Hornell past Cass St tower, now a relay case for CP Cass, as it enters Hornell. The tower is partly seen at far right. To the far left, coming out from under the first car, the track leading to the left is the Erie main to Jamestown and Youngstown OH. It was cut the year before, when Conrail essentially abandoned it as a through route, with what little traffic remained served by Olean based locals, with cars forwarded over the ex PRR Buffalo Line. It would be another ten years til WNY&P resored the connectino after NS took over the line. For now, we have only the ghosts of ELOI and 2NY 100 to take the switch and climb toward Tip Top.

Description:  After the departure of CSX from the Buffalo market via the ex B&O, the Sea Land trains went via a CR route to Chicago. This was a big time saver over the B&O via Pittsburgh. This 46 platform eastbound will go onto the D&H at Buffalo and become their 254, going to NYSW at Binghamton.
