Subject: It is sad to know that this place is no longer in business. As of this writing, it is a bank. My dad and I stayed over night in the red passenger car in 2003 after coming down from the Seneca Canal.

Subject: This photo is where CSX crosses thru the intersection of Twin Cities Hwy, Erie St, Wheatfield St, Division St and Nash Rd in North Tonawanda. I caught it just before it crossed. It was slow moving all the way to the intersection and then stopped and waited for auto traffic to stop. Then it proceeded.

Subject: A beautiful fall afternoon in Letchworth State Park. Although no one is allowed on the bridge, everyone was. Even as a NS train came through. He was going slow. It's hard to tell if he was going slow because of track conditions or because of all the people walking the bridge.

Subject: This photo was taken while on the Amtrak Santa Train on December 2nd 2007. I knew the car would be in view but as luck would have it, an outbound train from the Frontier Yard got in the way. But, I was able to grab this picture because a flat car which was in-between two boxcars at the precise moment the Penn Central came into view. I didn't even wait for the auto-focus. It was strictly a point and shoot with only 1 second to get it.

Subject: This photo is at Letchworth State Park in NY on the former ERIE RR. Much discussion has been made about the condition and future of this Genesee River crossing. Photo taken in October of 2006. We are standing on the west side of the gorge.

Subject: After realizing we could not get the car up the hill any further, we decided to temporarily abandon the car and walk up the remainder of the hill and check out the tunnel. It was snowing heavily that day.

Subject: This is a zoomed in look where the 2nd boxcar is hanging onto the bridge. The blue boxcar on the bridge is still half on the rails. They are clearing all the broken trucks and axles buring underneath. Trains were operating in both directions at this time.

Subject: For years I've been boating up the Buffalo River to check out rail traffic going across the river. It is a fasinating place to watch. I've always noticed that the River crossing bridge was either missing nuts or about to. After the MSP bridge collapse and a recent run up the river, I was more aware of the bridges condition and took some photos. This is an upclose photo of one plate/joint that has missing nuts. There are others sections on this bridge in similar condition.

Subject: A remaining tunnel of the BR&P east of Arcade and north of Farmerville Station. You'll notice that there are no car tracks going into the tunnel. That's because there is a solid layer of ice under the snow and we are stuck on a steep hill. It took a long half hour to back down the hill and not end up in the deep ditches on each side.

This was in January of 2004.

Subject: Not getting an ideal upclose look, it was difficult to tell how long this cross bar has been broken, not being able to see how much corrosion exists on the broken area.

Subject: This veiw is from 3500 feet while looking north along the Genesee River at Letchworth State Park near Mount Morris, NY. Despite being late in the season, many trees still have very colorfull leaves on them. But the night befores freeze is causing them to rapidly fall.

Subject: My friend Chris made this out -of- scale layover of where the Cross Forks yard use to be. It was incredibly helpful in getting a good understanding of the area. Chris is very knowledgeable of this area as he lives and hikes here year round. He was quite helpful in putting this trip and others together.

Subject: It is with great misfortune that this picture came out lousy. They had stopped pulling on the boxcar to reposition the cranes so I wasn't paying attention. But I turned to look at it and realized it had started to fall from the bridge and immediately snapped the picture without waiting for the focus to line up. I guess it's better than nothing. It's not like I can ask them to repeat it.

So, this picture shows the car disengaged from the bridge and falling.
