I passed under 905 on the Route 7 undergrade and made a beeline for Conklin. After waiting 15 or 20 minutes, and listening to him get authority for reverse moves to 2 East, I headed back to CP-BD when I got a phone call from my very good friend Joseph LoGiudice who was checking on his crew, telling me where it was: passing him! So I shot over and just as I came around the turn on Court Street / US 11, I saw 905 traveling east and just as I got into the good position, I lost the shot, because my "good friend" had the nerve to park his damn NYS&W trains in my way ;)
So I flipped a UTurn, and now 905 was heading west again, but now was above me and behind an embankment of trees. I was heading for the yard, when I encountered a NYSEG lot which gave me a good shot of CP-BD, and 905 came into view.
