CR 3332 plus eight |
| Description: |
Conrail 3332 leads eight other engines and a TrailVan train westbound on the "Fort Wayne Line" along the Ohio River at Sewickley, Pennsylvania, June 1985 (date approx). Either I got a nice wave from the guy in the second unit or he was shooing away lots of bugs. |

Old style |
| Description: |
In todays world of sterile rights of way-pole lines gone, new signals, etc, the Tier was a throwback. As a backwater of a large system, it did not get the attention of the ex Pennsy, or the NYC, and for most of Conrail's existence, except for the power and rolling stock, looked almost exactly like the EL. One such scene is near MP 320 in Adrian, where we see OIEL rolling along the poles-the wires were still active-and theres even a semaphore in the distance. |

Good chase |
| Description: |
OIEL was a hard train to get. Sometimes it ran before dawn in the Tier, so photo ops were limited. Another inhibiting factor was that it would often yard at Gang Mills, and a crew would not be called until much later in the day. I was fortunate on this cold(10 degrees) Saturday morning to catch it just as the light got good, and chase to Gang Mills. Here it is passing the semaphore at MP 259. |

Down the valley |
| Description: |
OIEL approaches the signal at MP 325, one of a variety of styles on the Erie, which seemed to be schizophrenic when it came to signal specs. There were these "traffic light" types, targets, and semaphores. The train is leaving the Canisteo valley behind, and will shortly be in Hornell, where it will go west on the ex Erie main to Olean and Jamestown. Still kicking myself for not chasing it there, instead of following the more mundane BUOI east. |

Tight space |
| Description: |
OIEL rolls along the narrow right of way between the cliff, road, and river. The tight proximity of all these features made the Canisteo a photographic dream. |

TV 79 |
| Description: |
TV 79 was a hot van train that ran through to Santa Fe to become their 199 train. It got priority over pretty much everything. Here it is behind typical power for this type train at that time, a quartet of GP40-2s. |

TV 79 |
| Description: |
TV 79 was one of the hottest trains on the railroad, only a little cooler than TVLA, which was a direct run through to the Santa Fe. TV 79 also handled Santa Fe traffic, but did not run through, and had to transfer across Chicago. I think it may have also handled cars for Chicago delivery at 51st St. Here we see it blasting through the station behind a four unit set of GP 40-2s, a common power set for this type train. |
