Changed Forever |
| Description: |
The view at the East Center Street crossing has been changed forever with the demolition of the building which had sat on the north side of the road. The building was formerly owned by Peter Frescina Building Contractors. Before that, it was likely a owned by a grain distributor. The first section of today's CT-1 eases downgrade past the demolition site with CEFX 3173 and 3164 in charge of 39 loads of stone on the first full day of fall. |

Patch power |
| Description: |
In its early days of running larger systems than its traditional lines, the Genesee & Wyoming used a lot of hand me down power in patched paint. Here is the train that interchanged with Conrail at Silver Springs with a pair of ex CR units and an ex NW geep, all in original colors. The unified colors would come later. The snow would eventually melt, too!! |

Power in the yard |
| Description: |
Not sure if this is Montgomery-I chased the 614 from Gauley Bridge to Huntington, so it has to be west of Gauley Bridge, but dont think its as far as Charleston. Wherever it is, good to see all that Chessie power 30 years later. The pair of units in the foreground had just come in with a westbound coal train. |
