I spent part of last Friday chasing on the Southenr Tier Mainline. I arrived in the morning to find a couple of SD40-2s and (at right) road freight 309 at the west end of the yard in Gang Mills, NY.

Joint NS/CP 38T came through the area in the morning. I caught the eastbound manifest freight at the Route 352 overpass in Gibson, NY:

After spending the middle of the day with the Wellsboro & Corning/Tioga Central in northern PA, I came back to NY.
Westbound 12T was again at thre west end of the Gang Mills Yard, getting ready for departure.

A Geep was sitting on the service pad next in the middle of the yard.

A pair of familiar SD40-2s, #3410 and #3422, were also idling near the enginehouse.

I've never seen this before- it's looks like an old Southern Railway storage container, but I'm not 100% sure. Perhaps a Southern fan can tell me what it is.

Once 13T cleared the west end of the Gang Mills yard, 12T was released for a westbound to Bison Yard. I caught the train deep in the Canisteo River valley at Rathbone, NY:
