Beginning the End

A Norfolk Southern freight rolls into the late October sun at Wallkill, New York on the fabled Southern Tier line. There would not be very many NS trains to follow this one. Following the Conrail breakup, NS found very little use of the eastern end of the old Erie and eventually gave this portion to the control of Metro North and the portion between Port Jervis and Binghamton to the Central New York Railway, aka, New York, Susquehanna & Western by a long term lease.
