Open shot
Title:  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
Title:  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.
