Bet he makes the light |
| Description: |
The ex LV line in Ithaca has a stretch of street side running through town. As in most places where this occurs, the traffic lights are set so that when crossing protection is activated, they set up to prevent vehicles from turning onto or crossing the tracks. The trains, however, make all the lights, no matter what color. |

Got it together |
| Description: |
WACG01, a Gang Mills based crew that handled the coal from there to Ithaca, has combined with a train that was left in Ithaca yard by a previous crew. The whole train, now with four units, will head up through town to the NYSEG Milliken Station north of Ithaca. Note the hoppers and conveyor at far left. The other coal customer on this line was Cornell University, high above Cayuga's waters. Conrail would spot loaded hoppers here, which would be emptied into a pit, with the conveyor carrying the coal up to be loaded into trucks for the ride up the hill to the college. There were 17 cars spotted here this day. |

Mc Master St |
| Description: |
There was once a road crossing here at Mc Master St, which was closed, but gates installed to allow for pedestrian crossings. Some motorists didnt take the hint, as you can see by the various barriers that have been installed. Some people are remarkably creative when it comes to stupidity, and even after these were put up, occasionally a driver would get hung up on the crossing here. OIBU has no such obstacles today, and rolls on by with a pair of C36-7s. |

Passing by |
| Description: |
OIBU, on the left, has done its Binghamton work, and is now holding on track 1 as a late running TV 303 rolls past on track 2. It will cross over here, and run ahead of OIBU for a crew change and go at Gang Mills. The signal at right controls track 3(ex DLW) where it joins the ex Erie track 2 for the trip west. This was part of the West BD interlocking, installed in 1959 when the Erie and DLW consolidated facilities on the Tier. |

Blasting though |
| Description: |
TV 303 rolls triumphally down Court St past BD as it heads west into the Susquehanna valley, having overcome Gulf Summit and the Delaware division. It will be in Buffalo this evening. That "Dicks" sign to the left of the lead unit marks the location of the first Dicks Sporting Goods store, opened in 1947. |

Off the bridge |
| Description: |
TV 303 rolls off the bridge over the East Branch of the Delaware River at Hancock. The clearance shows why the Erie was the choice for high and wide shipments. |

View from on high |
| Description: |
One of the most scenic routes in the east is the Delaware valley. As evidence, I submit this shot of TV 303 rolling over the Mill Rift bridge-see the stack cars in the distance-as the power runs along the river. This was taken from a pull out on NY 97 across the river in Hawks Nest NY. |

Crew change and go |
| Description: |
Conrails stack trains got out of Croxton overnight, but were usually held at Sloatsburg for the inbound commuter trains. This got them to Port Jervis around mid morning. Its about 1030 and TV 303 is making its crew change and will be on its way up the Delaware momentarily. Of note, the obelisk on the mountain top in the distance is the highest point in New Jersey, in appropriately named High Point State Park. It sits at 1803 feet above sea level. |

Headed back |
| Description: |
Two days prior to this shot, I had chased a TV 303 west on the Southern Tier Line with this power. Now its Saturday, and the set is headed back east on a merchandise train, seen crossing US 20 in South Bend. |
