MEBU
Title:  MEBU
Description:  MEBU passes the station at Chemung, seen from the NY 427 overpass. This area has grown up a lot in the past 25 years, and it is now almost impossible to get an unobstructed view here.

Which way EJ??
Title:  Which way EJ??
Description:  Right here. Endicott Johnson Shoe Co was the reason those two towns existed. By the 1990s, they were but a memory in the area, with only one plant still open, making Frye boots in Endicott. This building at right was a warehouse, though from the equipment in the scene, there must have been some manufacturing. BUME passes, and will not stop here for any cars.

MEBU in the haze
Title:  MEBU in the haze
Description:  The trees in the northeast throw off a lot of water in the warm weather, making for a haze that hangs over the region most of the summer. MEBU comes around the curve at Chemung looking good, but the hills in the background are almost in a gof.

Title:  By the feed mill
Description:  There were several industries east of downtown Waverly. The siding in the foreground goes to a place that makes brake parts for cars.

Yellowjacket trio
Title:  Yellowjacket trio
Description:  CP and NYSW ran their power through on the stack trains, which ran almost daily. With the relatively high number of these trains and the number of diesels needed to keep them moving, it was more common to see mixed consists than matched. It was therefore something of a surprise to see 255-the SLN 5-with a matched set not only of NYSW power, but three of the four remaining B 40s. Here they are about to roll over the road crossing at Canisteo. Any other day I'd have chased this train; I caught it while following 270 east, which had an M636 in the consist. I saw relatively few 6 motor Alcos on the Tier, so was not going to give that up.

In this case, its BH 1 with a three builder consist, heading north up the connection from the D&H that was built as part of the Bevier St improvement, where the D&H bridges were raised to allow standard 136" trailers, and the ex DLW bridge used by the NYSW was removed in favor of the new connection.
