After we left the park, Brian and I split up. I headed over to one of my traditional haunts- Bison Yard.

Got questions? I can help you with the Erie Lackawanna (including predecessors), Lehigh Valley, Delaware & Hudson and the shortlines of upstate NY.

Bison Yard was kinda quiet- alot of power which wasn't moving.

This is where auto racks are unloaded on the north side of Bison Yard.

I did catch a little action- an eastbound manifest freight (possibly NS 310?) arrived on the Bison Runner.

The reason I think this train may have been 310 is the ROW material in the gondola, which may have been headed for a rehab project on the Southern Tier Mainline.

The tail end of the manifest freight rolls through Bison Yard.

I ended the day back at Lake Avenue, where I caught some CSX action framed against a nice sunset.
