Train VG on track3
It is a common sight to see two and even three trains passing simultaneously on this busy four-track artery. Here is extra 3142 west, a train made up of mostly empties in Selkirk Yard southwest of Albany, passing extra 2796 east with mostly loaded…
Train no. SLD-8

Train no. ON-2

Train no. 312 at Ivorydale
This picture of the 3130 wheeling no. 312 through Ivorydale was taken less than half a mile east of the preceding one (the westbound distant signal for the junction is still faintly discernible in the distance). Ivorydale yard is again out of sight,…
Train no. 303 about to leave at tri-color signal bridge
