Attica hotel
Title:  Attica hotel
Description:  No, not the one youre thinking about, which is about a mile or so to the east and a group of low buildings, unlike Elmira or Auburn. DABU rolls past downtown Attica and the home signal for the double track that goes east to Linden. Attica was also the junction for the Alexander Branch that was a western entrance to Rochester.

Used to be busier
Title:  Used to be busier
Description:  DABU rolls 87 racks through the interlocking at CP Attica. The home signals on the double mast at left control the Groveland Industrial Track, which used a combination of the ex EL Attica Branch and the DLW main to reach Groveland, and the Dansville & Mt Morris. The EL line was not set up the same, as this line ran 52.5 miles to Rochester, with the line to Groveland diverging at North Alexander. Some of the EL went to Livonia Avon & Lakeville, and a lot of it is now completely gone. This is also the west end of the siding that extends east five miles to Linden.

Not long for the world
Title:  Not long for the world
Description:  DABU rolls past an eastbound track semaphore as it makes its way along the old Erie in the Canisteo valley. Track 1, which the train is on, will be taken up the following year when the line is single tracked from Hornell to Waverly, leaving sidings at Cameron, Gang Mills yard, and Elmira. The numerous semaphores here will be eliminated, removing a historic part of the eastern rail scene.

Title:  Panorama

The D&H main is gone
Title:  The D&H main is gone
Description:  Conrail was engaged in a program to single track the Tier from CP River, approximately where old NT tower was on the EL-the junction of the Buffalo Sub and the River Line to Cuba Jct-east to Waverly. At the date of this photo, they had removed track 2 from River to Cass St in Hornell, unaffectionately known by crews as the "D&H Main" due to the Conrail dispatchers tendency to route those trains on the 10 MPH track, rather than on the faster track 1. DABU heads west on now the only track, seen from the NY 70 overpass east of Canaseraga, where the line had a grade separated profile.

Out of the valley

Description:  DABU rolls west under the county road overpass at Carson, MP 325. The view here is dramatic, as the tracks appear to be coming right out of a mountain. This will be a single track railroad the following year.

Erie signals
Title:  Erie signals
Description:  DABU rolls past the home signal at CP HORN, which prior to Conrail was ZY on the EL. The Erie signals are still in place guarding the interlocking, which was the east entrance to the massive Hornell yard, and now largely a ghost town.

Another semaphore
Title:  Another semaphore
Description:  We all knew the Erie semaphores were on borrowed time, as Conrail had announced they planned to single track the Tier west of Binghamton. These signals had been installed in the 1920s, and were nearing 75 years in service. The segment from River Jct to Hornell had been single tracked the previous year, and now this section from Hornell to Gang Mills was on the chopping block. We made an effort to shoot them all, as here with DABU rolling past one of the blades near MP 316.
