Arriving at Stinson Yard.
Title:  Arriving at Stinson Yard.
Description:  The same train that caboose 123 was on has now arrived at Stinson Yard in Superior. I like the old yard office/depot on the left. Not sure what is left of this scene in 2016.

Description:  Since posting the other shots in this sequence, I had wondered where the closeup and passing shot went, and I finally found them! This train is heading to Superior, WI on the now abandoned Soo Line just north of Gordon.

Bright red
Title:  Bright red
Description:  SOO power leads a monster!167-todays train had 99 freight and 56 stack platforms-into the sun as seen from the shoulder of NY 417 just east of Addison. This shot can only be done late in the day. Usually the sun is on the other side of the train.

Getting started
Title:  Getting started
Description:  I dont recall now if I was on a day off, or this was just after work. I had regular hours, but they differed every day. This was taken on a Tuesday, so its likely it was my day off. We start close to home, on the tangent near MP 232 between Campville and Owego, with the red face of a SOO SD leading 167 west into the sun.

Long jump
Title:  Long jump
Description:  After getting the 167 at Campville, I jumped down to Smithboro, about 13 miles, taking NY 17 to exit 62, since there was no way I was beating him through Owego. I didnt want to risk getting scooped at Tioga Center, so I ran down to the west end of Smithboro, where the tracks come up to the road.

Wide view
Title:  Wide view
Description:  The next jump was an easy one. I just had to step on it. This is the view from NY 17C near the Tioga transfer station at MP 249 between Barton and Waverly. It was a good "grab and go" spot. The third unit is a classic, one of SOO's original SD 40's.

East side
Title:  East side
Description:  If a train was going fast enough, or I got stuck behind some slowpoke-its amazing the number of people who drive like they just dont care if they ever get where theyre going-I usually could not beat a train to downtown Waverly with its model railroad like buildings. So I had to go with other options. In this case, I grabbed the shot from about where the Tier crossed over the Ithaca Secondary, the former LV main. A SOO unit heading into the sun with a big train(99 freight, and 56 stack platforms) looks good in the late afternoon

SOO SD40 747
Title:  SOO SD40 747
Description:  SOO SD40 747 at Forest Park, Illinois on an unknown day in April 1981, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Yeah, I'm being stupid, driving 55 mph and snapping train pictures. At least there's a hospital at the next exit. My objective was the B&O logo on the bridge. The steel bridge in the background carries the Chicago Transit Authority's rails. Nearly 30 years before this photo, the Chicago Aurora & Elgin Railroad rails passed through this location.
