On Tuesday 1-09-07, I decided to head to the westside of the county to check out the action over there. To say the least I was not disappointed! I was only able to sit for 20 minutes but my daughter and I were treated to 3 trains in the first 15 minutes.

(top) The first train was a EB TV lead by a UP patched former SP GE unit that took the main line through the city.

(bottom left) The next train was about 5 minutes later, a nice pair of "standard cab" EMD's headed east down the shore. At CP 382 a segment of the old West Shore splits off from the Chicago Line to avoid some off the bottle-neck created by the yard in Rochester, N.Y.

(bottom right) The last train we saw was a WB mixed freight under the charge of a brace of UP units, with the leader displaying the striking American Flag logo.
