Guilford trio
Title:  Guilford trio
Description:  BUME behind three Guilford painted units rolls along the rock wall next to NY 17 just east of Corning with 48 cars. This was a challenging shot for an eastbound, as you had to stand on the shoulder of westbound NY 17, an expressway. Timing had to be good, as you could not stop here long. I got it right this sunny morning, catching three Guilford units, one each for the component roads, though the leader and trailing units had been "transferred" away from the D&H.

Fords east
Title:  Fords east
Description:  BFOA, the Bellevue OH-Ayer Mass train run with NS that delivered Ford finished autos to the ramp there is seen passing through Canaseraga. The Erie built some interesting right of way, including here, where the eastbound track is higher than the westbound. BFOA starts into the higher segment as it leaves the east end of town.
