CR C40-8W #6103 Canaseraga NY1 viewsThe miles and road grime are already beginnning to add up for Conrail C40-8W #6103 and her C40-8 cousin as they lead Buffalo NY to Oak Island NJ freight BUOI beneath the highway overpass at Canaseraga NY, north of Hornell. Conrail dispatchers invariably lined the home road's freights for the fast iron on track one, while tenant D&H's eastbound movements frequently used the 10 MPH jointed rail of track two between Portage and Hornell.

CR SD60 #6840 East Hornell NY1 viewsOne a hub of activity in its Erie Lackawanna heyday, Hornell Yard in the Conrail era saw use mostly as a car storage facility. The former EL shop complex at this date was being used by Morrison-Knudsen to refurbish commuter rail cars. Eastbound BUOI, behind CR SD60 #6840, an SD40-2, and a GE CW40-8 are seen leaving East Hornell NY. The scenic Canisteo River Valley lies ahead.
