Not long for the world
Title:  Not long for the world
Description:  DABU rolls past an eastbound track semaphore as it makes its way along the old Erie in the Canisteo valley. Track 1, which the train is on, will be taken up the following year when the line is single tracked from Hornell to Waverly, leaving sidings at Cameron, Gang Mills yard, and Elmira. The numerous semaphores here will be eliminated, removing a historic part of the eastern rail scene.

The D&H main is gone
Title:  The D&H main is gone
Description:  Conrail was engaged in a program to single track the Tier from CP River, approximately where old NT tower was on the EL-the junction of the Buffalo Sub and the River Line to Cuba Jct-east to Waverly. At the date of this photo, they had removed track 2 from River to Cass St in Hornell, unaffectionately known by crews as the "D&H Main" due to the Conrail dispatchers tendency to route those trains on the 10 MPH track, rather than on the faster track 1. DABU heads west on now the only track, seen from the NY 70 overpass east of Canaseraga, where the line had a grade separated profile.

Description:  DABU rolls west under the county road overpass at Carson, MP 325. The view here is dramatic, as the tracks appear to be coming right out of a mountain. This will be a single track railroad the following year.

Another semaphore
Title:  Another semaphore
Description:  We all knew the Erie semaphores were on borrowed time, as Conrail had announced they planned to single track the Tier west of Binghamton. These signals had been installed in the 1920s, and were nearing 75 years in service. The segment from River Jct to Hornell had been single tracked the previous year, and now this section from Hornell to Gang Mills was on the chopping block. We made an effort to shoot them all, as here with DABU rolling past one of the blades near MP 316.
