Ex Santa Fe on the road
Title:  Ex Santa Fe on the road
Description:  When I saw this old Santa Fe engine in Auburn, I had to chase it! With daylight quickly fading, and having trouble finding a good spot to set-up, I caught them here just before crossing Boxcar Lane next to Milton Ave. between Fairmount and Solvay.

Westbound
Title:  Westbound
Description:  A typical day of railfanning for me starts out in Solvay, NY at CP293 on CSX's water level route. In Solvay CSX interchanges with the Finger Lakes RR and the New York, Susquehanna & Western RR, so you can sometimes see a lot of action there. I got there around 10:00 this morning, then went to DeWitt, came back and noticed that the Geneva-Solvay turn was there. When it was obvious that they were leaving and heading back to Geneva, I decided to make the chase! Here they are approaching Vinegar Hill Road at 13:06.

Westbound III
Title:  Westbound III
Description:  After dropping a blue, excess height boxcar and a gondola a couple miles behind, the train is back on route for Geneva here at 14:05. This is a favorite spot of mine where the tracks are parallel with Canoga Rd. for about a half-mile. It's right behind the Finger Lakes mall.

Title:  FGLK 2309
Description:  Saturday is normally the only day of the week that the Geneva-Solvay turn does'nt work! Today they did........my guess: so the crew could spend Easter with their families.
