Waiting at Gary |
| Description: |
I saw this guy from below the overpass, and was able to get up on the South Shore platform to get the shot. The ex NYC and Pennsy ran close to each other here-NS uses the NYC line, but thats the ex PRR station partly visible at far left. The Indiana Toll Road is in the foreground. |

Old warriors |
| Description: |
By now, the original C40-8s were becoming the older secondary power as the legions of widecabs came on line. Here a pair go west, still worthy of priority service. |

Western visitors |
| Description: |
A pair of UP units has todays 13T at the old DLW station as it waits for a new crew to go south on the CP. 13T was a good bet for off line power, sometimes not the top of the line stuff. This C40-8 and SD40-2 are now far from the top tier of road power on UP. Still, they are a welcome change to the onslaught of wide cab GEs that were taking over the country at the time. |

Clean UP unit |
| Description: |
Im not sure what this unit was doing here. It appears to be on 12T, judging by the ex CR unit behind it. It was the cleanest UP paing job Ive ever seen on power that was not factory fresh. |

UP southbound |
| Description: |
Tuscola Ill is an important junction. The UP-ex C&EI from Chicago to St. Louis'and the NS ex Wabash both cross the IC here. In this view we see a confusing situation. Whose train is this with two of the players represented?? Its a UP train, but with a new NS ES40 leading+ about to cross the IC. Thats the actual NS in to the right. |

Along I 80 |
| Description: |
I was headed west on I 80 on the way up Sherman Hill, and pulled into a rest area for a short break. This train rollled past eastbound while I was there. Conrail had 10 C30-7's. Don't you know I'd see one 1000 miles from the nearest CR point. |

CSX detour |
| Description: |
During summer track work season, CSX would send detour trains over NYSW on a daily basis. Mostly these were low priority trains, usually Q 403 and 404. Q 156 was a higher priority train that often made the trip via Binghamton. We see it here passing Kirkwood Industrial Park along US 11 with a UP leader, with 46 freight and 79 stacks for Jersey. |
