Morning westbound
Title:  Morning westbound
Description:  The first train I saw when I arrived that day was Q 115, coming right out of the early sun with 202 stack platforms. CSX was c“ntinuing Conrails practice of monster stack trains. The eight units should be sufficient to get the train over the road on the virtually gradeless Water Level Route, though their muscle will be appreciated in the climb up tme Niagara Escarpment 60 or so miles farther on.

LV Pier
Title:  LV Pier
Description:  Dad took a boat trip with some friends, which allowed views of Manhatton that were off his normal rounds. He took advantage of the new viewpoint to get some interesting photos. One was this Lehigh Valley pier, near Christopher St. It is no longer in service, and at tis point, the question is, will the pier fall into the river before the railroad itself goes under in a couple of years.
