Between the signals |
| Description: |
The same BUOI we saw at Arkport now passes CP Corning after working at Gang Mills. Hes shed some power, now with only his two lead units, the trailing two dropped at Gang Mills yard. Note the curved concrete on the bridge at far left. This is the 1951 alignment that moved the tracks out of the city. The Erie station built at that time was at this location, the platform between the two main tracks, as can be seen from the space that still exists there. The building was down below at street level, with a parking lot at the end of one of the local streets. It was torn down about the time of this photo. The DLW was adjacent to the present tracks, on the right. It was abandoned after the EL merger in 1960. This location was formerly known as West Glass, and was the end of the west leg of the wye that was formed by this connection to the Corning Secondary, which went north from this point to join the Chciago Line at Lyons. |

Unusual signal |
| Description: |
The signal itself is not that big a deal for the Southern Tier-there were lots of semaphores up til NS took over. Whats unusual is that its showing approach, an aspect not often seen, largely due to its short duration. Here OIBU passes on a gloomy afternoon in May with a whopping 36 cars. |

Not only is OIBU splitting them by going between them, but they are two different types. Where Im standing was where the Erie RR Waverly station once stood, til it was wiped out in a 1967 derailment. But for that, youd likely see a pair of semaphores here. |

Jackson's Pumpkin Farm |
| Description: |
Jacksons Pumpkin Farm was a popular destination in the fall, when the pumpkins came in and they set up a whole fantasy land at their main location out on NY 17C, across the tracks from this view. They kept a small tent here by the fields along the tracks for smaller parties in the summer. We see BUOI rolling past on a July afternoon. Mot much going on for the passing train's 53 cars to interrupt. |

Olympic Trials |
| Description: |
Conrail painted two units to honor the bicycle qualifying events for the 1992 Olympics. The trials were held in Altoona, so it was a show of local pride for the many employees at Juniata. The other unit was an SD40-2. This one, the SD 50, is trailing on OIBU at Tioga Center. |

Three 40s |
| Description: |
By this time, seeing three SD40s was something of a novelty, since there were now large groups of more modern power. This 121 car OIBU rolls into Owego with three of the classics. |

OIBU |
| Description: |
This area has seen a lot of changes. You wouldnt know it from this photo, but there was a double track main line to the left of the train up til 1959, that of the Lackawanna. Gone without a trace, 33 years later. The bridge in the foreground would be replaced with a culvert in a couple of years when Conrail single tracked the line here. Today's view is of OIBU, a short 24 cars of it, seen from the NY 352 overpass. |

Along the rocks |
| Description: |
The set up here at Gibson is rock wall, Southern Tier Line, now on the Lackawanna alignment, NY 17 on the Erie alignment, with the Chemung River, out of the picture, to the far right. When New York state built the 4 lane here, there were a lot of changes made to the landscape. As it was, this was the location where the Erie and DLW met and ran side by side to Horseheads, and to some extent, all the way to Binghamton. After 1959, the DLW was abandoned between here and the west side of Binghamton, taking the Erie between the two places. |
