Dark day for BUOI
Title:  Dark day for BUOI
Description:  While in Elmira that day, I also caught BUOI while waiting on SLN 5. It has only two units for its 85 cars, of which four are 12 wheel depressed center flats. Climbing up Gulf Summit will be a chore the crew is undoubtedly looking forward to in the gloom.

BUAL
Title:  BUAL
Description:  Conrail changed the symbol on its train running the Lehigh Line several wimes over the years. For a while in the early 90s it was BUAL, originating at Frontier Yard in Buffalo, running the Tier to Waverly, down the connection to Sayre, then east on the ex LV to Allentown. Here it is rolling 69 cars into Gang Mills, seen from the overpass at the west end of the yard. Thats NY 417/US 15 in the distance, an expressway that connected with NY 17 at Gang Mills, and ended just south of the exit for Addison. Now it is part of I 99, running on the alignment of US 15 all the way to Williamsport.
