Easy morning shot
Title:  Easy morning shot
Description:  From my house in Campville, I could usually hear eastbounds blowing for the crossings on the east side of Owego, making it possible to get to Kinney Rd for a shot. The view was well lit-when the sun was out-and the hillside in the background made a nice backdrop. We see train 166 rolling east behind a SOO leader.

Not the class unit
Title:  Not the class unit
Description:  CP 6000 leads train 167 over the Chenango River and on to Toronto. In many cases a unit number like 6000 would be a class unit, but not here. Its just another of several hundred SD 40-2s.

Shot of a pole
Title:  Shot of a pole
Description:  With 166 behind it. Must have been hustling for the grab shot. We see 166 passing Liberty St on the Southern Tier Line as it approaches BD to get into East Binghamton. It was hard to resist the shot of three CP units in three schemes, with a SOO unit in the mix as well. It was often said the D&H had as many paint schemes as they had diesels. CP gave them a good run for their money on that score.

Along the pole line
Title:  Along the pole line
Description:  Train 419-it ran to Buffalo and Toronto the days 167 didnt run, though this day's effort still has 18 stack platforms along with its 112 cars-rolls west along the George F Highway and the Erie pole line into the afternoon sun. NS would single track this ten years later, and remove the poles. It opened up the shot, but took away one of the things that made this line interesting.

The Ithaca Branch left the DLW main just west of the Owego station, which was located where the off ramp for exit 64 off westbuond NY 17 is now.

Past the feed mill
Title:  Past the feed mill
Description:  CP train 166 blows past the Ward & Van Scoy feel mill in Owego behind the usual complement of SDs pulling 107 cars. The irony of this train is that the trailing unit carries the same number as NS local H2A's leader: 5577. Too bad I could not catch them together. It's the closest I've ever come to such an event. The ex Erie Owego station is at far left. It's now a restaurant. Great place to have lunch or dinner.
