I like this shot
Title:  I like this shot
Description:  But it was hard to get. The location is just west of Deposit on the ex Erie Delaware Division. The problem was, you had to stand on the overpass, which was part of NY 17, a four lane expressway. Not a good idea. The troopers would tell you that, too. We see SLN 4 behind a mix of NS and CSX power.

Making for the hill
Title:  Making for the hill
Description:  SLN 4 rolls east under my position on the PA 171 overpass, with I 81 in the distance as it gets a roll going for Gulf Summit. The Ho Jo advertized on the billboard is now a long gone memory.

High above
Title:  High above
Description:  SLN 4 rolls high above Lanesboro as it heads for Jersey behind an interesting mix of NS and CSX power. Both roads had contributed power to assist NYSW with their directed service operation of the D&H, and anything could show up.

B&O blue
Title:  B&O blue
Description:  Units in B&O blue were getting less and less common, and would eventually disappear under CSX. It was nice to get one in the lead.
