I watched/recorded it. Good show, with many diff prime movers and some good PRR/LV transfer shots of passenger trains at NK tower. Didn't realize that the LV had so darn many paint schemes!!!

The few steam shots of the streamlined K6B Pacifics were great, as were those of the Alco PA's and FA's, and the gas-electric being turntabled.

All in all, a good showing.

Best T&L yet.
LV was good for having many different paint jobs. No such thing as having the incorrect cornell red.Pick a shade and you'll be close.
Interesting show.It makes me happy to see the Finger lakes(Geneva) were included. :-D

At last count, it was 58 different schemes, on the diesels.......... :-D I'm not sure any other road ever came anywhere close to that. Not counting roads that merged, and ended up with other roads junk, but, like the Valley, a single road, start to finish, with anywhere near the variety we got to enjoy.
