L620
Title:  L620
Description:  A small group of friends planned ahead to chase CSX's northbound train on this day with the ultimate goal of shooting it in golden evening light somewhere around Potsdam, NY. The shot in Potsdam did'nt work out, but a good time was had by all on the chase anyway. Here we see the train crossing over the east end of the Oneida River.

Title:  Q620
Description:  While anticipating the arrival of the K533 at Wetzel Rd. in Liverpool, this one came through on a track a half mile east of where I was! When I found-out that a CN unit was on the point, I got ahead of them in order to catch them here at CP290.

Battered Bridge
Title:  Battered Bridge
Description:  While waiting for an empty grain train to go south from Woodard I noticed that the signal became lit for a northbound move. With that in mind I reached CP 291 just in time to see this train head up the St. Lawrence-sub. Here's the Q192 going through a bridge well known around these parts for its low clearance on the road below; despite the fact that there are numerous warnings, some trucks and buses still hit it. BTW......that's Onondaga Lake in the background.

Here's where the action is
Title:  Here's where the action is
Description:  A westbound mixed freight goes through on track 1 of the main; ahead of it on track 2 is a gondola with an "End of Train" device affixed; that's the end of the Y111-1. After the westbound freight clears on out of here, the Y111-1 will back-up on to the Geddes St. lead and deliver some cars to the NYS&W. Tied down on the track to the left is a slug-set (CSX 2359&6959); and on the siding tracks between the mainline and the NY state fairgrounds are a grain train led by CSX 7911, and a coal drag led by CSX 806!

Q260
Title:  Q260
Description:  I have'nt railfanned much at all this summer, but today I turned the radio on just to listen to what might be going on. I heard the NF dispatcher tell two westbound stack trains that they were gonna have to hold for a high-n-wide that was going through Lyons at that very moment. So, I decided to go out for this one. I don't know what is on the flat car, but it looks seriously heavy.
