The station at Oneonta has been one of the more active former train stations, hosing a number of businesses and restaurants since the end of passenger service in 1963. Here 555 passes on its way to Montreal. The signal in the background is CPF 553. Note the Ceresota Flour sign partly visible on the building in the background. |

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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Description: |
This is not the Mills Job, which usuaoly 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 |
| 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 |
| 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. |

Rolling west |
| Description: |
Train 557 rolls past QD on its way out of Binghamton. Gloomy day, but an Alco leading always brightens the day. The Lackawanna station is seen above the trailing unit, with the Erie freight house at far left, visible under the bridge. The Erie station stood immediately behind the power, and was razed in 1976 soon after the Conrail start up. |
