Maple Leaf
Title:  Maple Leaf
Description:  The Maple Leaf left Toronto in the morning, now in the late afternoon still has 238 miles remaining on its journey across New York. Looks like someone forgot to close the number board on the fireman's side, perhaps after changing a bulb.

Racks west
Title:  Racks west
Description:  Conrail did a decent automotive business, and rack trains were often seen. They had a big unloading facility near Selkirk, and another one for the NY metro area at Doremus Av in Newark, adjacent to Oak Island. One of the Doremus Av trains rolls west through the ex NYC station at Utica behind a relatively new SD40-2, and an ancient SD 40.

Rolling out of Union Station
Title:  Rolling out of Union Station
Description:  Most people dont think of Utica as being a "union station" since in their experience it handles only Amtrak. For a period in the 1980s and 90s, it truly fit that description, handling not only Amtrak, but also trains to the 1980 Olympics, and the occasional NYSW excursion. The station is to the far right, out of the photo behind the white building. The ex NYC is to the left of the train; you can see the ex NYC tower just beyond the lead unit. I wonder if anyone took advantage of the connection for this trip.

CR 6017 (the date is a guess)
Title:  CR 6017 (the date is a guess)
Description:  I took this on the same day as the 6399 shot, scanned it in 1994, and uploaded it to Flickr on Oct. 26, 2006, without a rescan!!! That's when I discovered the date on the 6399 shot was wrong. I corrected it at least on the caption, although the photo remained wrong, at least until I rescanned it in color, which is what you see here. In any case, I didn't used to like this photo so much, but looking at the other stuff on Flickr, this one held up surprisingly well. It was my first truly successful pan shot, so it's significant to me for that reason, too. In any case, here it is on rrpicturearchives.net for the first time.

Conrail 6399 (date is a guess)
Title:  Conrail 6399 (date is a guess)
Description:  I took this one in 1993, waiting in Utica, New York for Amtrak's (actually Swedish Railways') X2000 tilt train to visit. That may give a clue as to the date, but I don't have good source material handy right now. Does anybody know? It was hours late, and didn't arrive until after dark, so all of my best shots were taken during the day waiting for it, while I still had light. This locomotive, an EMD SD40-2 diesel, was leading a lashup of other locomotives pulling a garbage train. In those days, New York State had so much garbage that it was being shipped west by rail! I mainly like the impression of speed that this photo gives, with the blurred handrails and headlight, even if the train was only going about 50 m.p.h.!!!

Title: 
Description:  I'm going to have to look up the correct date of this wreck one of these days. I really have no idea what it is, other than that it was early 1993, as confirmed by the just-blooming trees in the background. I took this shot during the aftermath and cleanup of a major wreck in Utica, NY involving a loaded stack train headed by G.E. Dash 8s. The Dash 8s are gone by this point, with the smashed well cars and containers bulldozed to the side, and one track has been reopened, letting these GP40-2s through, rare even by 1993 standards. The wreck, according to the news reports, was deliberately caused by a group of teenagers, who were subsequently arrested for the crime, but the results of the case were kept secret because of their ages. One person, perhaps not the smartest person in the world, blamed it on the railroad, saying something along the lines of "I don't know why they put the railroad so close to the housing development." The housing development where the teenagers came from dated to the 1960s, the railroad to the 1830s.

CN 5640 & KCS 6619 (the date is a wild guess)
Title:  CN 5640 & KCS 6619 (the date is a wild guess)
Description:  Back in 2000, mixed power was still rare enough so that you could get other railfans' attention by photographing it. It is, after all, a bit odd to see a CSX freight in Utica, NY being pulled by locomotives from the Canadian National and the Kansas City Southern. The trailing locomotive is a bit old already by modern standards as the lead locomotive, an SD75I, is trailed by an SD40-3.
