My family lives over 2 hours from me... so Easter weekend is a great reason for a road trip. Of course... y'all know I'm gonna spend some time trackside, too.
Day #1 aka Easter Eve was spent following the Southern Tier mainline from Linden to Elmira. I caught 4 traisn along the way.

Due to a derailment on the Pittsburgh Line, NS detoured a couple of trains via the Southern Tier Mainline. I itnercepted the 21Z at Cp Cass in Hornell:
