270 with an odd mix |
| Description: |
During the mid 90s, Conrail leased out some of its power, including some SD40s, such as this one trailing an ex SOO unit on 270 rolling past Endwell Rug along the George F Highway. |

Rolling past the station |
| Description: |
Sometimes trains bypassing Dewitt yard would roll past on the station track, such as this 136 car westbound. The odd road number is due to Conrail starting up a fleet of lease units, which were renumbered to distinguish them from their system power. They took a page out of New Havens playbook, giving them a leading zero on the road numbers. |

Out of the sun on the CNJ |
| Description: |
The ENSE that was in Allentown yar earlier is now making its way toward Easton on the ex CNJ-look at the signal in the distance. The yard was a CNJ facility-the LV ran across the river-so any trains coming or going from the east would have to use a short portion of the CNJ to get on the Lehigh Line at Bethlehem. |

Racks west |

Conrail did a decent automotive business, and rack trains were often seen. They had a big unloading facility near Selkirk, and another one for the NY metro area at Doremus Av in Newark, adjacent to Oak Island. One of the Doremus Av trains rolls west through the ex NYC station at Utica behind a relatively new SD40-2, and an ancient SD 40. |

Sounds like a rock concert...actually, its a freight at a location on the Susquehanna River between Susquehanna and Great Bend PA, and if the light was right and you didnt have too many trees, it was a pretty nice view, as we see here with OIBU running along the river behind a pair of SDs. It would have looked nicer with a pair of EL SD45s, but cant have everything!! |

MP 337 |
| Description: |
The milepost to the right of BUOI gives away the location as the train approaches Hornell and a pick up at Morrison Knudsen. To the left of the train, next to the pole line, you can see a semaphore in the approach position. There were a pair of semaphores there, across from each other. It was not an easy location to access, hence there are few photos of that set, unlike the Tioga Center blades, which you could shoot from the shoulder of NY 17C. The train is on track 1, the "fast" track, with a 40 MPH speed limit. Track 2, the "D&H main", so called becaise some Conrail dispatchers would put D&H trackage rights trains on it, had a section of 25 MPH and a section of 10 MPH speed restrictions, making for a very slow trip to River Jct. |

Mismatch |

Going downtown |
| Description: |
A westbound CR train has cut off its train at BD, and is taking the power, a pair of SD 40s and a GP 38, down to QD to work the Erie yard. This was my first visit to Binghamton, and I was not familiar with the symbols then; there were several trains that ran the line from Jersey to points west. A few years later, that would be trimmed to two, OIEL and OIBU. I would guess this would be OIBU, or something similar, as it showed in the afternoon, which was its usual time slot. |

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. |

BUOI in the corn |
| Description: |
BUOI rolls east past a stubble cornfield near Arkport as it heads for Hornell, Upstate NY can be beautiful in the winter as the low light and golden colors warm the scene-if you can stand the cold temperatures. It was in the mid 20s this day. |
