Into the shadows
Title:  Into the shadows
Description:  OIBU rolls west at Endicott, late enough in the day so that the sun is casting a shadow from the trees. The lead unit has just made it into the shade, but the trailing power is still lit.

Night BUOI
Title:  Night BUOI
Description:  BUOI is stopped at the office in Binghamton, adjacent to the old Erie freight house. I took the opportunity to get a shot of a rare unit on the Tier, C32-8 6611. These units were almost exclusive to the River and Boston Lines, as they were based out of Selkirk. This one got to Oak Island and strayed.

Rolling into town

River view
Title:  River view
Description:  OIBU rolls under the NY 282 overpass at Smithboro. The tracks are right next to the river here, but not often seen since the trees hide the view except in winter. Today, we can see the water, a nice complement to the train.

TV 20
Title:  TV 20
Description:  As the 1990s wore on, even though most of the dedicated stack trains went to the ex NYC via Syracuse, there was still some priority traffic on the Tier. One such train was TV 20, seen here rolling toward the NY 17C overpass with 82 stack platforms and 26 COFC.

OIBU in the late afternoon
Title:  OIBU in the late afternoon
Description:  OIBU was a pretty reliable afternoon train at Binghamton, which made for some great lighting, such as on todays train, working QD yard. The steel structire at right is a Marconi tower. The Lackawanna RR was an early experimenter with radio communication, and had erected the tower to transmit from the station to trains in 1913. There is a NY State historical marker to note its significance.

Sunburst
Title:  Sunburst
Description:  Not a B&O unit, but the glint off this BUOI arriving at Binghamton on a late afternoon. The spirit of Erie lives on in the oversize load right behind the power. This was an Erie/EL hallmark, and trains often had large loads head out.

Description:  OIBU has an E unit behind the road power today. Unlike the EL, which used them in freight service, though mostly on the west end of the railroad, this one is in tow to a scrap dealer.

Great view
Title:  Great view
Description:  One of the more panoramic views of the Tier, but a hard one to get, since you could only get this shot sunlit late in the day in the summer, and there was no place convenient to park, was this shot of the line from the hill on Watson Blvd as it approached Endwell. When it worked, it was a great shot. Here it is with OIBU rolling west with 41 cars on a Friday afternoon.

ML 401 mix
Title:  ML 401 mix
Description:  ML 401 was the train that ran mostly empty auto racks from Doremus Av unloading facility in Newark to Buffalo via the Tier. Today it has 44 general freight ahead of its 48 racks, so either the merchandise was really light and they combined it with OIBU, or it was really heavy and this was overflow. We see it at Waverly passing the iconic Ted Clarks Busy Market, which was still there when I visited this past July.

Frozen
Title:  Frozen
Description:  No, not the Disney feature!! In this case, its the Chemung River, which we see at left from the connector bridge at Wellsburg in this view of ML 401 approaching the automatic signal 266-1. In another month, the weather will warm up enough to cause a lot of snow melt, which will put the river at the bottom of this bridge, helping create a massive ice dam.

Title:  Reaching the Tier
Description:  An empty XWB coal train from the NYSEG plant in Ithaca has reached block limit station WAVE(at right, small blue sign) and is now entering the Southern Tier Line. The train is being handled by a Gang Mills crew, and is symbolled WACG 30; the train will eventually go back to a mine in southwestern PA near Brownsville.

OIEL western connection
Title:  OIEL western connection
Description:  For a few days, there was UP power on the Tier. This was not that common. Conrail must have been really short at Elkhart for the western power to go this far east. Today is is returning, a CR SD 50 leading the ex MP general service SD40-2 and 34 cars.

Description:  One of the hottest trains on the system was TVLA, a through connection to Santa Fe that became their 198 train to Los Angeles. Together, CR and ATSF combined for a transit of apporximately 76 hours coast to coast. This one is a big train, 91 trailer flats for the Santa Fe. Check out the Saab in the parking lot.

Slowly through town
Title:  Slowly through town
Description:  WAIT 2 rolls south past the Food King parking lot, adhering to the 10 MPH speed limit through downtown, pulling a line of salt cars from the Cargill mine up on Cayuga Lake. Of note is the trailing unit, one of CR's ten C32-8's. These were a Conrail only model, and spent most of their time on the Boston and River Lines, and rarely strayed. Finding this one in Ithaca was a real catch.

Pulling
Title:  Pulling
Description:  OIBU has gotten back on his train and is now starting to pull its 50 cars west. We have here a good view of the station area. The concrete pad behind the lead unit is the location of the Erie station. Under the middle of the overpass is the Erie freight house, the red brick building. It will be torn down in 1999. In the right background, we see the station tower on the DLW station, as well as the steel frame of the Marconi tower, which was used to mount an antenna for an early radio application. To the left of the radio tower, we see the smokestack for the station powerhouse, which not only provided heat for the station, but also for the steam lines that heated the set out cars that were dropped or picked up here.

Starting over the bridge
Title:  Starting over the bridge
Description:  The steelwork for the Chenango River bridge actually starts before the tracks are at the river bank, as the structure also vaults over Water St before reaching the water. OIBU is on this part of the bridge as we look up, about to cross the Chenango, and head out the west side.

Hazy westbound
Title:  Hazy westbound
Description:  One of the things about the northeast in the summer is the haze. Even the Kodachrome days are muted due to the constant humidity. June is a prime month for that, as you can see with this westbound 141 car train at Wanakah. You can hardly see the signal masts less than a mile away.

Description:  ALCG has come off the Lehigh Line and is now getting its train rolling for Gang Mills yard and the end of their trip up the ex LV. I'm standing on the site of the Erie station, which was demolished in a wreck in 1967.
