Waiting on time
Title:  Waiting on time
Description:  The NYSW ran excursions for the annual Mapathon Maple Festival, starting with a run down from Cortland. Mikado 142 was the star of the train for several years. In 1993, it was brutally cold and snowy-there had been a!20 plus inch snowfall a week earlier-even for the festival, which was notorious for its awful weather. While it made for a challenging chase, steam in the snow made for a great show.

Looking down
Title:  Looking down
Description:  Several places along I 81 provide good views of the tracks, though I dont recommend sitting on the side of the interstate to do this. Its a volation of the Vehicle and Traffic Law for one thing, and not terribly safe for another. Nevertheless, a shot of a steam train was too much to resist, so we have this shot of the Maple Festival train near Messengervilie, seen from the shoulder of I 81.

Coal dock

Along the river
Title:  Along the river
Description:  There were several shots to be had along the Tioghnioga on the way south from Cortland. Of course, you took your life in your hands on the shoulder of I 81, but the view was stunning. I got a few of these that day.

NYSW 142 & NYSW 2400 Doing A Photo Runby (location is guessed)
Title:  NYSW 142 & NYSW 2400 Doing A Photo Runby (location is guessed)
Description:  I took this during a photo runby while riding an NRHS Convention Special from Syracuse to Chanango Forks, New York in 1998. We never made it all the way to Binghamton, as the excursion ran so late that we lost our path, but a good time was had by all. Regrettably, I can't remember exactly where this runby was (it was probably the one from Tully which is also depicted in a photo on my website www.jonsearlesphoto.co.nr), so any info from other attendees would be welcome.
