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. |

Watching the show |
| Description: |
The Owego & Harford was hard for me to catch, as it seemed to be a morning show several days a week, the scheduke driven by gas cars and excursion trains. Thus, there was no one working when the CP delivered their cars. RS 18 1801 looks on as the gas cars are set off near the Owego station. |

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. |

Chessie SD |
| Description: |
A Chessie System SD 40 sits on a track near the main. I always liked seeing their SDs, since almost every train I saw had GPs on it. |

New paint |
| Description: |
It took a while, but CSX started to paint its power in their new corporate image, one a safety officer-and, it turned out, everyone else-would hate. One can interepret the blue/gray theme any number of ways, but this scheme was most unremarkable. Two of the three units on this helper set pass Point of Rocks heading west. |
