Just thought I'd share a picture I shot of the B&H 422 and LA&L 423 heading north into Bath on friday. This was shot from the 17/86 overpass. Any NS or WNY&P trains planned sometime this week?

. when I looked over and saw those Headlights coming down the tracks, I went from 65-0mph in a hurry.Some several odd years ago while going down the highway north of Bath, I caught one of the S-1's pulling a short train north where the line goes under 17. Perfect timing - but no camera. It was a nice little treat though.
Is it me - or is there something mystifyingly neat about watching a light engine move?

FL9AC- had a similar experience two years ago, driving north on NY 17 outside of Corning... was in search of B&H, when I see red Alco Century coming my way, and the B&H unit on the other end! I didnt wait to find a u-turn! My jeep headed over the media and I chased the short train to a few spots (easy- top speed is 30 on that track)... got some killer shots along a dairy farm. All I needed was just a little bit more sun!

Otto,
that's great! did the pics come out alright? Was this before the C430 had it's WNY&P lettering/numbering? (assuming that was the red ALCo you saw)I'd be interested to see them if you've posted them somewhere. I'm only in the Western New York area for another 3 weeks so not too sure when I'll be able to see the LA&L/WNY&P/B&H again in the near future.

Hey Otto!
I gotto look thru my stck of pics but I might have some shots of that C-430 and a C424 running light on the B&H thru Bath. It will probably take some time, but keep after me so I don't forget!
Sincerely,
Matt Langworthy

LAL's #423 was running by itself, on the B & H RR today, spotted just north of Bath at the I-86 bridges, at about 3:15 PM. Is this unit going to go back to the LAL anytime soon, or is it staying permanantly with the B & H?
