Winter camouflage
Title:  Winter camouflage
Description:  On the KCS, where they dont get a lot of snow, the white did not have the issue with blending into its surroundings. On the D&H, well, that was a different story. Three ex KCS units lead a westbound 271 toward the yard at BX, doing a good job of blending in to their environment.

Ex KCS power
Title:  Ex KCS power
Description:  CP bought 7 ex KCS SD40s, 670 through 676, and put them into service without repainting, just adding CP Rail decals, and keeping the KCS numbers. They were ultimately repainted in the dual flag scheme, and got CP numbers 5415 thru 5421. Here a pair of unrepainted units leads a northbound at BX

Past the signals
Title:  Past the signals
Description:  The semaphore at Waverly was on a mast, and at one time hosted a warning light for a hot box detector a few miles to the west on track 2-note the pole sticking straight down below the signal. The signal on the track 1 was unfortunately a tri light unit, so no twin semaphores here. It was still a good shot as we see 270 rolling east behind an SD40 mix with 23 cars.

891 west
Title:  891 west
Description:  The 891 symbol was an empty coal train, though you would not know it from this shot. The train rolls west coming into Owego with CSX power and a mixed consits. My guess is CP added some freight to the train to fill out tonnage and save a train start. This train has 116 cars behind its four SDs.

Passing what remains
Title:  Passing what remains
Description:  The 891 train rolls west on the Tier at Goodrich Settlement, a small community just west of Owego. The track in the foreground is the former LV Auburn Branch, now just a long tail track on the Owego & Harford. It ends abruptly about 1/2 mile behind me, the right of way abandoned from there to the LV yard in Sayre. Twenty years prior to this photo, you could see LV Alcos and D&H Sharks here.

Extracurriculars
Title:  Extracurriculars
Description:  This is not the Mills Job, which usually handles the task of interchanging gas cars with the Owego & Harford. Today the honor goes to the 891 train, an empty coal train going to Buffalo and onto the NS. This is not its usual assignment. It was interesting to watch a set of six axle power take the O&H connecting track and yard. Im sure the crew was holding their breath the entire time.

Parking lot shot
Title:  Parking lot shot
Description:  Train 413 is rolling past the parking lot for a restaurant in Afton. If the train got out early enough, especially in the short days of winter, getting a good side angle with some train in it could be a challenge. The feature here, though, is the leader, an ex SOO non dynamic brake SD 40. Bet the engineer was real happy with it coming off Belden and Richmondville.

Old power
Title:  Old power
Description:  Old power was not a big deal on CP. They had lots of it, and ran it til it dropped. The lead unit on this train is unusual in that it was originally one of SOOs non dynamic brake SD40s, a diesel that was becoming rare by this time.
