Good view, hard to get
Title:  Good view, hard to get
Description:  I always liked the view of this through truss, but didnt shoot many trains here, such as this BUOI. The problem was, you had to stand on the shoulder of NY 17 to get the shot. Not a good idea, and the state troopers will tell you that as they write the ticket for parking on the highway.

Preview
Title:  Preview
Description:  We were all at Starrucca waiting for the Southern Tier picnic train to show, hoping the fog would lift. It did, right around 0830. Shortly, there was a horn up at Germantown Rd, and everyone keyed up for the Es. What we got was an appetizer, this TV 201X behind a labor/management B40. A nice shot, even if not E units.

Dewitt Geep
Title:  Dewitt Geep
Description:  An RS 3 rebuilt at Dewitt shop in Syracuse works the ex Erie Croxton yard, pulling a cut of cars over>County Rd. This switch didn't do so well. Look at the lead truck on the box car. Oh well. Some days things just don't go right.
