D&H 404 Portage Signal
D&H 404 leads a Chessie GP40-2 & an N&W GP30 on a Westbound that is paused at the end of double track in Portageville, NY on April 4, 1980. The Portage Bridge is just a few hundred feet ahead. This was the start of double track that went all the way to Binghamton back in those days. There was a spring switch not very far behind where I was standing for this photo. It was a good thing the train was stopped as it was not exactly a Kodachrome type of day.
