Slowly I turn

Title:	Slowly I turn
Description:	Train 413 rolls slowly through the south end of Bevier St, at what used to be BX cabin, as the rear of its train is stretched out to BD. Once clear of those obstacles, it will start its run to Belden tunnel in earnest. Todays effort has six units-including one of SOO's five SD60M's-for its 128 cars, a heavy train in this era.

Making a run for it

Title:	Making a run for it
Description:	Train 413s six units are pulling hard to lift 128 cars to Belden tunnel. That non-dynamic brake ex B&M GP 40 won't be much help on the downhill side of the tunnel, as its lack of DB's will prevent the use of them on the trailing three units.

Gator and a semaphore.

Title:	Gator and a semaphore.
Description:	The semaphore at 247-2 was easy to access, as it was close to the road, and there was a driveway to the MOW road, which was the old LV line. On a nice day it was a great shot with the blade against the blue sky. Heres 261X with 45 TOFC behind a GATX lease unit rolling west past the signal.

No, its not Wisconsin

Title:	No, its not Wisconsin
Description:	A trio of SOO units lead 253 north at Bainbridge. Its an interesting mix of power, with one of SOOs 5 SD60Ms leading, and a pair of straight SD60's for power. The now closed Jennison power plant rises in the background. This scene has changed over the years. Note how the trees have grown up compared to shots taken in the 80s elsewhere in this album.

166

Title:	166
Description:	CP 166 rolls 99 cars past the signal at Tioga Center. Not nearly as much fun since the semaphores were taken down. A decade later, these units would become rebuild fodder.

Something is coming east shortly, note the eastbound signal is lit.

Not the class unit

Title:	Not the class unit
Description:	CP 6000 leads train 167 over the Chenango River and on to Toronto. In many cases a unit number like 6000 would be a class unit, but not here. Its just another of several hundred SD 40-2s.

Rare widecab

Title:	Rare widecab
Description:	SOO had five SD60Ms, which occasionally made their way to the east. It was always good to see them, especially in the lead, which was unusual. Got lucky this day, as 164 rolls through Bevier St with not only the SOO widecab, but a WC unit as well. The irony is that WC was a SOO predecessor, but is now part of the CN system.
