Soon, the train would crest the grade, cross Starrucca Viaduct and proceed to Binghamton. I would witness the accident while pacing the train alongside on Route 11. After calling for EMT response, I ran ahead to fetch 2 members of the 3-man crew, dropping one man at a road crossing that needed to be cut and taking the other back to the scene. An assortment of traction motors at Juniata. The CP train was unordinarily long this day, which is why he was held up east of the road crossing in Canisteo, NY rather than pulling forward to East Hornell.
Time is up, the train is in the siding, and the crew needs a lift back home.
The automobile industry greatly increased Conrail's bottom line. There is only one more day left before the end of Conrail, but maintenance of way continues as planned, even as autoracks blur past. Robert S. Waller . All rights reserved. Photos for personal use only.
