A 261 train rolls around the big curve going into Canaseraga as seen from the NY 70 overpass. The Erie once had grade separated mains here, the eastbound being higher. That track was abandoned when Conrail single tracked the line in 1992. The view from up here is stunning on a nice day. |

Running solo |
| Description: |
Sometimes-not often, because despite the mostly river running, there were a couple of stiff grades on the line-trains would run with a single unit. Todays 252, the HAN job, headed to the NYSW and Jersey was one such train. I didnt get a car count on this train, but its already made the hard part of the trip, and should have an easy roll into Binghamton. The hoppers at left are sitting in the NYSEG Hickling Station, which had a capacity of about 12 cars on its siding. It was not one of the more efficient plants, and would soon be closed. |

Grain behind lease power. |
| Description: |
In a long lens shot from the Chenago St bridge, we see a 390 grain train approaching QD on track 2. The switch is just out of the photo ahead of the lead unit. The photo also gives a good overview of the area as it looked in the mid 90's. The bridge to the left of the train is the ex DLW crossing of the Chenango River. Once a two track bridge, it was singled by Conrail about 2 years prior to this photo, due to structural issues. The extant track is now the Johnson Running Track; it had been track 3, with the removed track being track 4, their designations going back to the Erie and Lackawanna consolidation of facilities in 1959. The large building behind the train was coal storage, and has been demolished since this photo was taken. |

Panoramic view |
| Description: |
One of the locations that has a really good view, and I wish Id shot here more often, except that youre on the NY 70 overpass, is here at Canaseraga. The Erie main tracks were separated here-there was once a center siding through town-and were also grade separated. Whe Conrail single tracked here in 1992, track 2, not so jokingly referred to as the "D&H Main" due to its 10 MPH speed restriction, was the track that got lifted, leaving track 1, now a 50 MPH speedway. Train 261 is taking advantage of the improved conditions as it makes its way toward Buffalo. |

Another view of the bridge |
| Description: |
This was taken from the access road to Letchworth State Park-you can drive right by the gate in the off season-showing the road overpass as well as the main bridge. At the time, it was the highest bridge on the Conrail system. It is not so now that NS owns it; they have at least one on the Rathole in Kentucky that is 300 feet. |

390 with a mix |
| Description: |
Starting in October of 1990, most 390 trains got a set of SOO power, sometimes with other units added in. Not all 390s got SOO power, some got a mix of whatever was handy. This is one such train with an ex SOO, now CP unit, a second hand Southern unit, and a legit NS unit, seen about to cross Page Av in Endicott with 58 cars |

Vanishing scene |
| Description: |
Train 557 pases the signal at MP 249-2 as it approaches Waverly. The semaphores were scheduled to be replacesd, but the reality was that most of them between Endicott and Waverly would last into the 21st century, so they didnt vanish quite as fast as anyone expected-to our great delight. The real surprise here is the trailing unit-a GP38-2. These were not common on the D&H, though there was a period in 1994 when they showed on a regular basis. Today's train has 7 COFC and 25 stack platforms. |
