Check it out, a pedestrian races the Norfolk Southern train for several blocks, then crosses in front of it as the pair of GP 38-2s street run Chemung Street in Painted Post, NY on a cold October day, pulling a string of tank cars dropped off by the Livonia, Avon & Lakeville Alcos. Not sure what was worth risking life and limb for on the other side, considering each geep weighs 125 tons, not to mention what the rest of the train must weigh!
Alco Century 424s from the Livonia, Avon & Lakeville then start their return trip, announcing their departure as impressively as their arrival, leaving a trail of diesel smoke and fumes in their wake! Awesome stuff! Corning/Painted Post at one time were quite the railroad towns, hosting three major railroads: the NYC, the Erie, and the Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western. Sadly, most of the tracks in town have long since been torn up. Chemung St and Centerway are all that's left for those of us obsessed with observing these brutes close up!
