CN yard goat 7023 working Black Rock Yard in Buffalo, NY the summer of '76. CN and EL alternated responsibilities for yard transfers to Fort Erie, across the International Bridge. I lived (still do) near the NYC's Buffalo belt line and a mile walk westbound down that line took me to the PC Niagara Branch and EL's Black Rock Yard.
Taken with an old Petri SLR, Kodak 400 speed Tri-X and processed in my attic bathroom.

Westbound CR train with 3 PC U33C's on the head end on the old NYC just west of Exchange St.
The third bridge in the distance is the ex-EL, Ex DL&W passenger main to the yet to be ripped down DL&W Buffalo passenger terminal.
Of course the bridge is now gone and this section is now CSX' 3 Main or "Compromise" as the double track main is now the ex-Buffalo Creek through what used to be FW interlocking and the CP DRAW bottleneck over the Buffalo river.
Grab shot on bicycle as a teenager with a beat up old Petri, Tri-X and processed at home

CP's daily Budd car train from Toronto to Buffalo has just come off the International Bridge onto Bird Island near 1 PM in the summer of 1975
I would frequently hop on my bicycle and pedal the mile and a half to the bridge from my summer job in the hopes of catching the Budds and Amtrak's Empire State Express from Detroit
