Conrail 6089 Canaseraga
Conrail 6089 in EL colors leads an Eastbound Conrail freight on track 2 at the grade separation in Canaseraga, NY on June 24, 1978. There was a different SD45 that we were after this day, and we missed it. We learned from the Hornell dispatcher that N&W 1776 was leading an Eastbound D&H train, and it was by River Jct. We thought we could get to Canaseraga in time and catch it, so we drove to the bridge that went over the tracks and got out and waited. An SD45 did show up, but not the one we were expecting. Turns out that we somehow passed the N&W 1776 between Arkport and Canaseraga where there is a couple mile stretch where you can't see the tracks. When we got back to the dispatchers office in Hornell to inquire about the location of 1776, it was already passing through Corning.
