KH31 with an SW1500 heads past CP Norry as they work their way back to the North Shore interchange at dusk.

If you want Conrail...then come to the Buffalo Line. Another solid blue lashup leads train 537 northbound.

Another sunny afternoon and another all blue led 643.

Once in a while you get lucky...as is the case here with three ex Conrail SD60I's leading a 643 northbound at sunset.

With matched GE's Q438 leaves Iona Island late in the afternoon.

With Bear Mountain as its back drop the first southbound in daylight is Q108 who has railroad down to CP5.

In moderate rain from a thunderstorm Q439 comes southbound with marker lights on.

Q433 has three locomotives today and heads southbound about to enter Iona Island.

While two crabbers try their luck at the edge of the Hudson I get lucky with a Canadian visitor on Q409.

After meeting Q164 at CP35 Q165 comes north with 108 axles at the Stoney Point detector.

Q110 follows Q108 southbound off of Iona Island under some weak morning sunlight.

Just how many crews have climbed up these steps at the start and end of their day?

With the sun about to set the SU99 heads northbound on the ex. L&HR through Vernon. Open shots like this are tough to get on the Southern Division Mainline.

With the sun setting on the longest day of the year a hazy Iona Island is the stage for Q156 to head southbound in the waning light.

Now 51 miles from Jersey City the SU99 climbs upgrade with a long train bound for Binghamton, NY.
