Were off!!
Title:  Were off!!
Description:  I caught this 31T rolling west out of Binghamton as it left QD and rolled its 107 cars across the Chenango River. It was one of those glorious sunny days in the Tier, made for a chase. I made the best of it, following this train to Dalton, almost 140 miles to the west.

Last shot
Title:  Last shot
Description:  This was the last shot I got of that 31T. West of Hornell, he really took off, and I had a hard time keeping up, since he had 50 MPH, and I had to get through Canisteo and Hornell, a challenge to start with, then deal with 40 MPH at Arkport, 30 at Canaseraga, and hope to stay close. I beat him here, but that was the end. I could have beat him to Silver Springs, but it was getting late and I had to be at work the next morning by 6.

Three units on the Chemung
Title:  Three units on the Chemung
Description:  31T crosses the Chemung River, as seen from the park on Water St. This was always a good location, but if you shot him at Waverly, you had to run to get it. If you shot him at Chemung, you really had to hustle, and hope you made the lights in Elmira.

Title:  31T and high water
Description:  31T crosses the Chemung River at Elmira with 117 cars. Must have rained a lot recently-not a stretch, seems like its ALWAYS raining in the Southern Tier!! The water is high-normally you can almost walk across the river bed here.

New track
Title:  New track
Description:  There had been a washout near this location several years prior, and the track had all been rebuilt. 31T is taking advantage of the new track, though the curvature in the valley is such that it wont make a lot of speed anyway. The view shows why this is such a great place to shoot train photos.
