New York is a colorful place to be at this time of year, since trees are a blaze of color, I had two outings with NS running through the foliage last month. The first outing was along the Southern Tier Mainline.
NS auto rack freight 28N eastbound at MP 389/Spring Road in Alexander:

All photos in this post and the link were taken by me Saturday 10/22/2016 in western NY. The LHRY SD40-2 was coming back for Ohio, and was dropped off later at Gang Mills. After being forwarded to Elmira, NS local H12 delivered her to the LHRY in Sayre (PA) a couple days later.
A week late, I was out at the Bayview Road crossing after a successful chase of the New York & Lake Erie RR. NS sent three eastbound trains down the former NKP main while I was there.
NS intermodal 22K with an SD60M, standard cab SD70 (ex-CR) and standard cab Dash 9:

As the tail end of NS 206 passed, I could already see the headlights for the 3rd train in the distance:

Great stuff!!
Thanx, Dan! I don't know what happened to poor CSX that day. If you check out the slide show, you'll see that their 3 track line (ex-NyC main) turned into a parking lot. I'm not sure what happened because my scanner was tuned to NS.
