Taking the switch |
| Description: |
BH 1 rolls through the switch onto the Syracuse Branch, one of the ex BN SD 45s leading 110 cars toward a CSX connection. He'll cross NY 12 in a moment, to the consternation of a long line of motorists. |

Open shot |
| Description: |
Train speeds on the Northern Division were modest, 30 MPH in most places, so chasing was not a challenge most of the time. After shooting a train at Forks, you could easily beat him to this spot, where the tracks crossed US 11 south of Whitmey Point. Here you were afforded an open view of the train as it approached the crossing. It will be a good wait for the 110 cars to clear. I wont beat him to Lisle, only three miles up, but Killawog shouldnt be a problem. |

Q 271 on the Chenango River bridge |
| Description: |
CSX and lease power leads Q 271, a CSX overflow train of empty autoracks, on the former Erie Chenango River bridge. The train has come up from New Jersey, and now having cleared BD, will back down onto CPs ex DLW line, then head north on the NYSW and regain home rails at Syracuse. The bridge I am standing on is the former DLW main, now one 10 MPH track. |

Superfleet |
| Description: |
The Warbonnet units got relettered for the most part, some got repainted. This B40-8W is now marked for BNSF, but still looks good trailing on a northbound on the ex ATSF crossing TX 22 in Meridian Tex. |

Just pulled up at the crossing. |
| Description: |
We were driving east on Tx 22 when the gates went down. I always have the camera under the front seat, so I was ready, and we have a pair of H 1 painted units leading this northbound, with a Warbonnet B40 trailing. Dont leave home without it!! |
