Made the meet |
| Description: |
An eastbound CSX detour train waits at Susquehanna as Q 271 pulls away from the meet. Ill chase Q 271 back to Binghamton. The water tower support is for the tower that once supplied water to the Erie car shops, which stood beyond the train for over 100 years. |

Lucky catch |
| Description: |
Immediately beyond this grade crossing was an intersection. I looked up and down the track before crossing, as I was pulling a 53 foot trailer and would not clear it if I pulled up to the light. To the north was a signal, which was green. Since most signals are approach lit, I figured there was likely a train coming, so I held back. Good thing. This showed up before the light changed. |

Got painted |
| Description: |
Much of the power UP inherited from merged roads ran around in patched predecessor paint for years, and a lot of secondary power didnt get fully repainted. This ex SP tunnel motor got the full treatment, and was sent barnstorming. We see it on a military train headed west at Utica. |

Twin signals |
| Description: |
Possibly the most well known location on the Tier was Tioga Center, up til 1992 the location of a pair of semaphores that were across the tracks from each other. Conrail replaced them as seen here. Somehow, tri lights didnt quite have the same charm. OIBU has 73 cars today and a mix of power. |
