Here at Rock Glen the track crosses a private driveway; I'm guessing that the kids wait for the school bus in this little green building when the weather is bad. |

Salty dog |
| Description: |
I think this is train GW1 that is just getting into Retsof this afternoon. I'm also thinking that this string of cars are empty salt hoppers destined to be filled at American Rock Salt in Mt. Morris, NY. /////// Well, I learned today (4/17/2012) that I was wrong. The 51 cars on this train were brought into Retsof for cleaning, they did not go to Mt. Morris. And, on the return trip, 96 "clean" cars were hauled away. |

4 axle lease engine |
| Description: |
First time for me sighting a 4 axle HLCX engine. This engine is the sixth of seven engines on what I believe to be CSX train X78624; it's tied down on the so-called pocket track between CP 296 and CP 293 on CSX's Syracuse terminal-sub. The entire lash-up beginning with the lead unit is: (all CSX except the 4220) 5441, 7604, 7389, 8157, 6229, HLCX 4220, 8863. |

Sears Lead |
| Description: |
Right after the V060 cleared the wye at CP 291, I heard dispatch talking with the crew on a DeWitt yard job. They were talkin' about having to get to the Sears lead, I've heard this before and knew that they were going to 84 Lumber.........why they call it the Sears lead I don't know. So here's the Y111 about to make a hook on an empty box car. |

Complete Packaging Solutions |
| Description: |
If it was'nt for this one and only customer on this particular trackage in Syracuse, then you can bet it would join the long list pf places in the area that used to, but no longer receive rail service. The only thing unfortunate about this moment is that any shots with the power in the foreground would be extremely back-lit; I did stay and watch the whole manuever anyway. And it was pretty interesting to see too because only two of the three cars that were already there were hauled away. On top of that, they sandwiched the one that stayed between the two head-end and the rear car of the new inbound loads. Must be the customer wanted them arranged in a specific order. (BTW....GATX 22307 was delivered on 10/24/2016) |

Y111 |
| Description: |
Since I started working a Tuesday through Saturday schedule, Mondays have been freed up to catch movements that would be unlikely to happen on weekends. After checking the situation at Woodard I decided to move on to Syracuse in hopes of catching this train. Talk on the radio indicated that they were looking for track east of CP285 which means only one thing: they're going to 84 Lumber. They left the yard with a loaded lumber car, a box car, and three tanks. In this frame we see that they cut away from the three tanks and are headed straight for Bridge Street with the loads for 84 Lumber. |
