Rolling on through
Title:  Rolling on through
Description:  A shot I liked to get, though I didnt do it often because you had to stand in the traffic lane on NY 7 to do it, was this view of a southbound coming off the Susquehanna River bridge from Sidney into Bainbridge. I braved the traffic(it was Sunday, not that it makes a lot of difference here) to get this shot of 269 with an ex Conrail leader.

Three today
Title:  Three today
Description:  Trains 268 and 269 were notable for almost always getting a pair of GEs. Once in a while, an EMD would sneak in, and almost never would there be three units or foreign power. Today is exceptional, as 268 has a trio of units, and an ex CR leader, seen on the famous high bridge.

252 with unusual power
Title:  252 with unusual power
Description:  252 rolls south over the Harpursville bridge behind a trio of 40's. The two trailing units are notable. The middle unit is an ex SOU unit that was converted to a B unit by CP; they changed it by removing the seats and control stand, and boarding up the windows-yes, boarding up: they used plywood. The trailing unit is ex Greater Winnipeg Water District, and a trade from CN-note the road number that falls into CN's SD40 series.

269
Title:  269
Description:  One place I liked to shoot, but you took your life in your hands doing it because there was NO room on the bridge, was the NY 7 overpass just south of the Susquehanna River bridge where the railroad crossed from Sidney into Bainbridge. Here we see 269 heading south off the large through truss.

Slow start
Title:  Slow start
Description:  Train 413 rolls through the location of old BX cabin at the south end of Bevier St, passing the Agway mill as it gets started toward Oneonta and Mohawk. Its a slow drag here, as the trains 63 cars are stretched around a tight curve, the rear still passing through BD. Its a hard start for a tough climb.
