Wait! After the meet, there's one more - another westbound with a single SDP45 in charge. Ran out of slide film, as you can tell. Location is the Fuller Rd. crossing, looking back to the east.

ABBU with NS power
Title:  ABBU with NS power
Description:  ABBU, an empty grain move from the Port of Albany to the NS at Buffalo, rolls through Silver Springs just after New Years. Once on NS, it will run the old NKP to Bellevue OH. This was a lucky shot. I was driving home from Buffalo, coming through town and decided to check the signals. This guy showed up just as I reached the crossing. Some days you win.

No one would have believed you
Title:  No one would have believed you
Description:  Ten years earlier, if you had suggested to anyone that the NYSW would not only be running coast to coast container trains, but would also have a fleet of stack cars, they would have thought you were totally nuts. Yet in 1988, I watch as a stack car with NYSW reporting marks pulls away from me in western NY, on a train headed for a west coast port. Railroading sure is strange. These are the Gunderson cars, which differ from the well cars in that they have a bulkhead that holds the top box in place, as opposed to it being locked to the bottom container as is done with the well car.
