New York.<\/p>\n

On the old Erie Railroad.<\/p>\n

On May 7, 1989, I awoke to find more than 6 inches of snow on the ground at Scottsville, New York. The previous day, people had been mowing lawns.<\/p>\n

By 11:42 am, I\u2019d caught up with Delaware & Hudson\u2019s DHT-4, a double stack train that was working its way east from Buffalo on Conrail\u2019s former Erie Railroad mainline<\/p>\n

At the time New York, Susquehanna & Western was D&H\u2019s designated operator.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a>

NYS&W SD45 3614 (former Burlington Northern) leads Delaware & Hudson DHT-4 on Conrail\u2019s former Erie Railroad mainline to Buffalo near milepost 374 (measured from Jersey City).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

More to the point, the late season snow had contributed to a signal failure, and the freight was stopped at red signal near Warsaw, and awaiting instructions from the dispatcher. I made this photograph using my Leica M2 loaded with Kodachrome 25. I had the camera fitted with a Visoflex and 200mm Telyt (which was a combination I was using a lot back then).<\/p>\n

Since DHT-4 wasn\u2019t moving, I opted to play around with some non-standard compositions. This slide was in my \u2018Seconds box\u2019 (not to be projected to an audience) for 25 years. I also have some more conventional views as well.<\/p>\n
