The B&H interchanging 50+ LPG bang bangs in Painted Post was a site to behold Monday January 4th.
Proficient on the Southern Tier Line, The former PRR Elmira Branch, A little LV, A lot of EL, And of course, the Corning Secondary. Someone always knows more than me. Remember the Binghamton yardmaster that routinely said in a high voice, "No! No! No! That's not what I told you to do!"?
Friday 1-22-10, 425-420-422 out of Lakeville with 12 cars. Picked up 3 hoppers from the northern part of Avon yard, 2 from Howlett Farms, picked up an empty center beam from Matthews Fields and was at Genesee Junction just before the 691 (?) CSX local with about 30cars came to drop off the loads for LA&L to take back south (23 cars). Did some switching for Barillla before I had to head back home. Lots of other activities took place such as CSX east bound with a switcher, etc. 418 was doing yard duties at Lakeville. Will post pictures later when I can pick out a few of the unexpected 456 pictures I took! (disadvantage of digital cards...but a good one...)

Edit: Forgot that they stopped at Howlett again on the way south.
See LA&L 01-22-10 posting for the pictures.
A bit of everything from the company working on the line into Sweetner Plus, checking/measuring/inspecting the tracks from the yard to South Lima Rd., CSX dropping off cars at Genesee Junction as well as the 'taxi '#55 with PA. plates doing the transport for CSX conductor/brakeman, Tartaglia HiRail pickup inspecting the R&S line, and so on. Busy day all around! And no didn't have time to have a beer!
As Mike Stellpflug has great shots of the trio smoking on a very frosty morning, no way I can compete with that! However a few of some more normal operations on this day. Enjoy! November was a great month for frosty shots!
