Knocking it down |
| Description: |
One of the great things about semaphores is watching them drop as a train passes. I had the pleasure this morning, as BUME rolls past the blade on signal 255-2 at Waverly, seen above the truck to the left of the train. |

Coal and yellowjackets |
| Description: |
A four unit set of NYSW 45s has an eastbound PLMT, symbolled RC 1, for ReCrew, a dogcatch crew that relieved the outlawed crew from Buffalo, rolling through Waverly past the classic buildings that serve as a backdrop here. The semaphore has dropped to stop now that the train is several hundred feet past the signal. |

East side of town |
| Description: |
The east side of Waverly has some notable features. Note how wide the tracks are here. There was a center siding here during Erie and EL days, which was removed by Conrail, but the tracks were never straightened. At left is a pet food plant, which would remain a Conrail customer for several more years. We see PLMT, a coal train for Mt Tom Mass, rolling past with four yellowjackets. |

F45 reflection |
| Description: |
One of the constants in the Southern Tier was the rain-there were 160 cloudy day a year there, and it rained many of them. The result was a lot of puddles. NYSW 3638 is reflected in one of them at the north end of East Binghamton as it waits to go to the Port of Albany with a BUAB. |

It never stops |
| Description: |
NYSW had a way of putting together some power combinations youd never see anywhere else. Sometimes it happened in the yard, though often youd see them on the road too. This set was one only the Susie Q could come up with, at East Binghamton. |

Down on the farm |
| Description: |
One of the most scenic places on the NYSW, indeed in New York, was Bairds farm near Warwick. It was a popular photo spot, and the family was gracious in allowing railfans access. It was a "must do" photo stop for the trip, which we see posed at the farm, along with some of JJ Youngs inflatable cows, imported from Binghamton for the occasion. |

Going west |
| Description: |
A late SLN 3-the train usually showed in the morning-rolls through Owego on a mission to get to Buffalo. A pair of GEs and a pair of 45s have the task today for the 65 Sea Land platforms, 6 COFC and 7 freight.Note the 40 MPH speed sign. Conrail allowed certain frieghts 50 here, as did EL in days past, so this is a speed restriction, most likely due to work being done in the area. |
