BUOI heading east |
| Description: |
BUOI has worked Gang Mills yard and is now heading east for Elmira and Binghamton with 51 cars. This was Eries, and later ELs yard in the Corning area. The track going out of the picture to the far left is the connection to the ex NYC line to Jersey Shore PA. That line originally ran on the other side of the Tioga River at this point. The connection was put in when the Erie and NYC were relocated out of downtown in 1951. |

ML 401 mix |
| Description: |
ML 401 was the train that ran mostly empty auto racks from Doremus Av unloading facility in Newark to Buffalo!via the Tier. Today it has 44 general freight ahead of its 48 racks, so either the merchandise was really light and they combined it with OIBU, or it was really heavy and this was overflow. We see it at Waverly passing the iconic Ted Clarks Busy Market, which was still there when I visited this past July. |

No, not the Disney feature!! In this case, iws the Chemung River, which we see at left from the connector bridge at Wellsburg in this view of ML 401 approaching the automatic signal 266-1. In another month, the weather will warm up enough to cause a!lot of snow melt, which will put the river at the bottom of this bridge, helping create a massive ice dam. |

Old guard |
| Description: |
No not the SD60I, which was almost new then. The semaphore, which has been in place there since the 20s. It will soon fall, as Conrail will single track the line from Elmira to Waverly later in the year. The train is BUAL, a road freight originating at Frontier Yard in Buffalo, terminating in Allentown after a trip down the ex LV via Towanda and Wilkes Barre, and the Lehigh Gorge. Conrail alternated their approach on this train, as it changed its western origin several times over the years, most often running out of Gang Mills. Today's effort takes 128 cars east, and is about to take the connecting track to reach the ex LV at Sayre. |

Changed ends and rolling west |
| Description: |
UNL15B came down from Ithaca, ran the power around at Sayre on the ex LV, and is now making its way off the connecting track at block station WAVE and through the crossovers onto track 1, as seen from the US 220 overpass. |

Signs, signs, everywhere theres signs |
| Description: |
Or how things have changed. After the Feds bought out the assets of Penn Central, they morphed into a real estate company. Note who is selling this property. The empty space to the right of the sign is the right of way of the LV Auburn Branch, the line that hosted, among other things, the D&H Sharks for a time on the Sayre turns. Once Conrail took over, that line was abandoned, as was most of the LV west of Sayre. A fair amount of the right of way between Owego and Barton was still there, back in the trees, where it had not been plowed under by the farmers who had the easement revert to them when the line was pulled up. I dont know how much CR actually owned, or if PC was able to sell any of it. Photo is taken from NY 282 in Smithboro, just south of where it intersects with NY 17C. |

Coal empty with UP power |
| Description: |
An empty train-all except for one loaded salt car on the rear-heads toward Gang Mills behind a new C40-8W and a pair of UP SD 40-2s. The second unit is a former MP unit that has had the controls removed, and is used only in trailing positions. |

Local in the snow |
| Description: |
WACG30, a Gang Mills based local, made a couple of trips to Bath every week to interchange LPG traffic the the Bath & Hammondsport, who switched a gas storage facility. Here it returns to Gang Mills with a short train. The line generally followed the ex DLW main to Buffalo, but parts of it were actually on the ex Erie Rochester Branch |
