Second tier power |
| Description: |
Once the stalwarts of stack and auto trains, the high horsepower GEs eventually found themselves on a variety of second tier runs, such as on this 47 car local in Arkansas rice country on the old Cotton Belt, where these same units had not too long ago pulled high priority, time sensitive freight. |

PLMT |
| Description: |
Among the as needed moves were coal trains to a power plant in Mt Tom, Mass. These originated on the P&LE, and sometimes the power ran through. A lot of times, it came in with a variety of D&H or NYSW power, along with whatever CSX had to assist. One such train arrives at BD with an NYSW B 40 leading a pair of CSX units and a leaser. |

MEBU in the corn |
| Description: |
This field in Owego was a favorite vantage point. There was a good, open view of the tracks, and the crops changed periodically, so it was always a new view from season to season, and year to year. Heres MEBU with a pair of GEs bracketing one of NRLs F 45s. How about that Rio Grande auto rack head out?? |

Fields of gold |
| Description: |
The time between when the corn went brown til the first snow could have some wonderful light, especially late in the day, when it made all the corn and grasses take on this golden hue. MEBU rolls west between Chemung and Wellsburg past one of those cornfields. Scenes like this made it a joy to chase in the Southern Tier, despite the lack of density compared to the Chicago Line or the ex PRR. |

SLN 5 behind NYSW and NS power |
| Description: |
NYSW and NS power leads SLN 5, symboled DHT 9 on Conrail, past the rocks just east of CP East Glass. This is the approximate location where the DLW and Erie joined going east, with the DLW trains taking the Erie from here to Binghamton after 1959. The DLW was abandoned from here to the west side of Binghamton, except for short segments in Elmira, and from Waverly to Nichols to serve an Agway there. That section was abandoned in 1965. If you know where to look when you're on NY 17 east, you can see vestiges of the right of way near Elmira and Wilawanna; there were still some bridges near Lounsberry, and the Apalachin station still stands. It's a Subway and ice cream shop. |

| Description: |
SLN 5 rolls through the twin semaphores at MP 243-actually, they are 242-1 and 242-2, they were just east of MP 243-knocking down the signal on track 1. This was probably the most popular shot on the Tier west of Binghamton. Easy to get to, and couldnt beat a pair of blades side by side. |

Directed service power |
| Description: |
Leader 4026 is a B40 financed by CSX to assist the NYSW with its directed service operation of the D&H, one of a group of 20. They would go back to CSX when the directed service ended on CP takeover. Here it is with NYSWs own 4002 passing the hayfield at Miller Beach Rd in Owego |

Which way EJ?? |
| Description: |
Right here. Endicott Johnson Shoe Co was the reason those two towns existed. By the 1990s, they were but a memory in the area, with only one plant still open, making Frye boots in Endicott. This building at right was a warehouse, though from the equipment in the scene, there must have been some manufacturing. BUME passes, and will not stop here for any cars. |

Early in the season |
| Description: |
MEBU rolls west past the barn just east of Waverly. In another month, the corn will be as high as an elephants eye-and its still a good photo. |

MEBU in the haze |
| Description: |
The trees in the northeast throw off a lot of water in the warm weather, making for a haze that hangs over the region most of the summer. MEBU comes around the curve at Chemung looking good, but the hills in the background are almost in a gof. |

Knocking it down |
| Description: |
Well, in a moment. The semaphores response once a train hit the circuit was sometimes not immediate. It was fun to watch them drop. |

By the feed mill |
| Description: |
There were several industries east of downtown Waverly. The siding in the foreground goes to a place that makes brake parts for cars. There was a pet food plant, the other this big Agway feel mill. Both were Conrail customers, and MEBU will not be stopping to set off any of its 115 cars. |

I caught this NY 9 rolling west at Tioga Gardens in Owego just before 0600 one morning, even before the fog had started to lift. Three NYSW B 40s have the honors today. |
