Thanks Brian, for the site link.
A few years ago I was traveling west on rt. 17 between Hancock and Deposit. I heard this rattling sound. I'm driving an old F150, so I assume it's the truck. So I pull over and get out. Damn! The sound is still there.
High up on a ridge, to the left, there it is. A slow freight, snaking it's way on the old Erie main, on the mountain side. It was winter, so I saw quite a bit.
I never saw the engines, so I don't know if it was NS or Susie Q. But I sat there for a while watching it go by. No camera or video, so I couldn't get a shot.
This year I will bring some cameras hoping to capture that scene again. As it was gorgeous.
Just think, these were the scenes you saw on the NYO&W every day.
