Penn Division
Title:  Penn Division
Description:  In an ironic twist of fate, PYRP, once the WR 7, seen at the top of the photo, would have crossed this plate girder bridge over NY 7 on its way north. The D&H last used this bridge several years prior during the detours while Belden Tunnel was rebuilt, and it has sat unused since then. It would not be removed for another couple of years, when NY State rebuilt the NY 7 bridge over Wylie Creek, which PYRP is crossing on the well known Harpursville Bridge.

Pushing hard
Title:  Pushing hard
Description:  A four unit set of pushers is working full out to get the coal train moving up the hill toward the tunnel. It must have been all hands on deck-there are even a pair of CSX units in the mix, probably borrowed from a recently arrived PYRP.

Rolling in the sun
Title:  Rolling in the sun
Description:  For a late afternoon northbound, there were not too many decently lit shots going north. One that worked was this view at Afton, where there was enough angle to shoot from the shoulder of NY 7. We see a PLMT rolling toward the signal at GR behind a mix of power.

Approaching the signal
Title:  Approaching the signal
Description:  The signal gantry at GR is well known, and easy to get a shot of, due to being so close to the road. PLMT rolls up to it as the afternoon rolls on into evening.

Rolling the coal
Title:  Rolling the coal
Description:  Slowly at first. This PLMT has quite a power set, and pushers too. It is getting started from Bevier St for a slow trip up to the tunnel.
