Not as high as it will be in a few minutes, though. Train 8859 rolls across Martins Creek Viaduct behind a pair of UP and four NS units. It will be on Tunkhannock in about ten minutes. |

Stowed |
Description: |
31T has arrived at Binghamton, but there is no rested crew to go north, so the train has been stowed on track 4 through downtown. When a crew comes in, it will back the train onto CP for headroom at BD, then go north. Meanwhile, it looks good on those ex DLW concrete arches in the afternoon sun. |

H 88 rolls past the signal at MP 221 near Hayes Av with the usual big power. Today a UP unit is along, a situation that was becoming less and less unusual on what was essentially a long distance transfer run. |

On our way |
Description: |
CPs trains used NS symbols west of Binghamton after they gave up the trackage rights inherited from the D&H following Conrail startup. This is 39T, which ran as a haulage train from Binghamton to Buffalo, approaching the curve at MP 220 along the rocks. Its an easy spot to get in and out of. The chase is on!! |

In the corn |
Description: |
I skipped my usual shots in the Owego area, opting for a shot I liked and saw many times, but didnt always have a train to shoot in that scene. Today, the light was going to be right, so I jumped on toward Tioga Center to get this shot of 39T rolling past a field of standing corn, seen from NY 17C. Its a great afternoon shot after the corn goes brown, and I made the most of it. |

Head on |
Description: |
Theres a long tangent coming out of Smithboro, ending in a curve as the tracks come up to the road. Its an easy shot to get, right from the shoulder of NY 17C, which is what Ive done here as the train comes straight at me. |

Back side of town |
Description: |
Waverly was one of my favorite spots. You had to hustle to get here from Smithboro or Barton, since you had only two lane NY 17C to work with. From Tioga Center, it was a little easier, as you could use NY 17/I 86 for a fast run to Waverly. The shot here has this magnificent backdrop of old buildings, and would make a great model railroad project. 39T passes the model set as it moves onto single track. |

Great curve |
Description: |
Five miles west of Waverly is this shot at Chemung. It is also an easy catch, since it is on the NY 427 overpass immediately off the NY 17 off ramp. The bonus here is that you have the option of getting back on the highway and bolting for Elmira, or you can flip around and take NY 427 west for a couple of possible shots en route to Wellsburg, though youll miss any shot at Elmira by doing so. |

Wide open |
Description: |
The are here is called Big Flats, which, while its not the wide open spaces of Kansas, is a good sized open space for the region, a place not known for level ground. At one time, there were two double track lines here, the Erie, on which we see 39T, and the Lackawanna, beyond the train, and now completely obliterated. Since 1992, there has been but a single track here. View is from the NY 352 overpass. |

Old mill |
Description: |
Another favorite spot, though I didnt do it often as it was 80 miles from my house and you have to have the right lighting to make it work, was from the NY 417 overpass east of Addison. The elevated view made for a good look at the train, as well as a rustic looking barn and a former Agway mill in the distance. Todays three GEs on 39T were a novelty, especially since there were three "golden rodents" on this train. Though the GEs were becoming more and more common, it was unusual to see more than two together. There were still a lot of SD 40-2s around, and they showed up on almost every train. |
