Winter gloom |
| Description: |
The Southern Tier is known for its cloudy days, especially in winter. Here's 12T approaching Goodrich Settlement Rd west of Owego on one of them. You could still see C39-8's then, this train has two of them. |

Things are cooking at the east end of BNSFs argentine yard. A coal train heads west on the left, as the transfer from the KCS waits. Next to him is the westbound Road Railer, and an eastbound stack train rounds out the action. |

Three in a row |

Three trains side by side, though appearances are deceiving: the two trains on the left are westbound, the train on the right is eastbound and going away, but its DPUs make it appear to be approaching. The old Santa Fe signals are not long for the world; new masts and heads are staged next to the tracks. |

Big power for a local |
| Description: |
NS was not shy about putting top of the line power on locals and switch jobs. Where CR was using GP 38s and B23s on their locals, and later GP 40s, NS almost always had C40-8s assigned. It was fun watching a six axle GE working the Agway mill on somewhat shaky rail, or down the Vestal Spur, though they did ultimately do some serious track rehab on it around 2003. Here we have a pair of six axles on H 88, a turn job from Gang Mills to Binghamton, with mostly NYSW interchange. The leader is one of the thousand C40's on NS, but the trailing unit is an almost new SD70M-2, a unit youd more typically expect on 206. |

Undecorated units |
| Description: |
Athearn was noted for making most of the models it offered in an undecorated version, so modelers who preferred to paint their own, or wanted to paint a scheme not offered "out of the box" could do so. Who knew the idea would catch on in real life?? NS took delivery of a large number of C40-8Ws in primer, putting them into service immediately, then painting them at Altoona or Chattanooga later. A pair of them are working the NYSEG plant at Dresden on the ex NYC Corning Secondary, getting ready to pull the empties, which will go to Buffalo, then eventually to the Brownsville PA area for reload. |

I miss October in NY |
| Description: |
I moved to Arkansas the year after I took this, where the fall colors are, to put it mildly, lackluster. There are few things I miss about living in NY; the color that could erupt in the fall is one of them. We see empty coal train 527 coming around the curve at MP 231 behind a power set that is colorful in its own right. |

Six axles on the DLW |
| Description: |
Conrail restricted the Vestal Spur, the one time DLW main segment from West BD to Vestal, to four motor power. NS, on the other hand, had no problem sending heavy power down to Goudy. We see one such train returning to Binghamton. Once there, it will go south as an 888 back to the mines in western PA. |

Pass the salt |
| Description: |
Train 675 was one of a pair of trains that ran salt from a mine north of Ithaca on the ex LV to the Vermont Railway at Whitehall on the D&H. The NS power ran through. This is the empty move, 675, passing Hiawatha Rd in Owego. It will go to Waverly, back down the connection to the ex LV at Sayre, then head north to the mine. |

We were heading from church over to Waffle House, which necessitated a trip across the tracks. I looked down the line as I usually do, to see this train approaching with a pair of NS units leading. This is somewhat unusual, and we dont see a lot of them here, so breakfast could wait. There were also a pair on the rear, along with a KCSM GE to get the 102 frac sand cars over the road. |
