The other shot
Title:  The other shot
Description:  Tioga Center was known for the pair of semaphores that were opposite each other at the Ayres Rd crossing a mile of so east of this location, and that was "the" shot there. I always loved the cormfield and hills, but the lighting didnt usually favor that shot, since the train was going to be dark almost all the time. I took advantage of one of the Southern Tiers many cloudy days to get 261 there in more even light.

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.

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.

On the big viaduct
Title:  On the big viaduct
Description:  Train 166 crosses Tunkhannock Creek Viaduct, also known as the Nicholson Bridge. Getting shots of a train on the viaduct can be problematic. Theres a four foot wall on the edges, making a shot from the ground difficult, because you lose the trucks and some of the carbody. The good shots from in town are rather far off, though you need some distance to get a good view of the viaduct, which is just over 1/2 mile long. This is from a parking area off US 11 at the south end of the structure. I did OK considering.

Panoramic view
Title:  Panoramic view
Description:  One of the locations that has a really good view, and I wish Id shot here more often, except that youre on the NY 70 overpass, is here at Canaseraga. The Erie main tracks were separated here-there was once a center siding through town-and were also grade separated. Whe Conrail single tracked here in 1992, track 2, not so jokingly referred to as the "D&H Main" due to its 10 MPH speed restriction, was the track that got lifted, leaving track 1, now a 50 MPH speedway. Train 261 is taking advantage of the improved conditions as it makes its way toward Buffalo.

Title:  Another view of the bridge
Description:  This was taken from the access road to Letchworth State Park-you can drive right by the gate in the off season-showing the road overpass as well as the main bridge. At the time, it was the highest bridge on the Conrail system. It is not so now that NS owns it; they have at least one on the Rathole in Kentucky that is 300 feet.

Past the detector
Title:  Past the detector
Description:  The EL detector at Campville, MP 230, was still in service til the mid 90s. If it was tripped, it would set signal 231-1 to approach, and light a "hot box" light under the head. I only saw it do that once, on a TV 303. Train 261 is passing the relay case for the detector as it works west toward Owego. Today's train has the typical pair of SOO SD60's and 66 TOFC.

Shot of a pole
Title:  Shot of a pole
Description:  With 166 behind it. Must have been hustling for the grab shot. We see 166 passing Liberty St on the Southern Tier Line as it approaches BD to get into East Binghamton. It was hard to resist the shot of three CP units in three schemes, with a SOO unit in the mix as well. It was often said the D&H had as many paint schemes as they had diesels. CP gave them a good run for their money on that score.
