Open shot
Title:  Open shot
Description:  Train speeds on the Northern Division were modest, 30 MPH in most places, so chasing was not a challenge most of the time. After shooting a train at Forks, you could easily beat him to this spot, where the tracks crossed US 11 south of Whitmey Point. Here you were afforded an open view of the train as it approached the crossing. It will be a good wait for the 110 cars to clear. I wont beat him to Lisle, only three miles up, but Killawog shouldnt be a problem.

Q 271 on the Chenango River bridge
Title:  Q 271 on the Chenango River bridge
Description:  CSX and lease power leads Q 271, a CSX overflow train of empty autoracks, on the former Erie Chenango River bridge.

The bridge I am standing on is the former DLW main, now one 10 MPH track.

Lucky catch
Title:  Lucky catch
Description:  Immediately beyond this grade crossing was an intersection. I looked up and down the track before crossing, as I was pulling a 53 foot trailer and would not clear it if I pulled up to the light. To the north was a signal, which was green. Since most signals are approach lit, I figured there was likely a train coming, so I held back. Good thing. This showed up before the light changed.

Twin signals
Title:  Twin signals
Description:  Possibly the most well known location on the Tier was Tioga Center, up til 1992 the location of a pair of semaphores that were across the tracks from each other. Conrail replaced them as seen here. Somehow, tri lights didnt quite have the same charm. OIBU has 73 cars today and a mix of power.
