Deep in the gorge |
| Description: |
In some places, the valley is 1000 feet from the river to ridge top. This is one such place, just west of West Cameron, where there is not room for tracks and road on the river bank. The road was built on the other side of the river at this point. From that location we see 270 roll east beyond a field of hay bales. |

Loon line |

DABU rolls west at West Cameron. There were a pair of semaphores there, but not directly across from each other. I was out with some friends that day. They elected to set up by the eastbound signal for the shot. Typical for the time-always fans out on the Tier. |

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. |

CLiffside |
| Description: |
This spot near West Cameron is where the tracks stay on the north side of the river along a high cliff-the green wall behind the train. At its highest point, the top of the ridge is 1000 feet above the river. Were just east of CP Cam, where River Rd crosses back to follow the tracks going west. |
