Skellie Road
One of my all-time favorite Batten Kill chases was on December 28, 2010. During the warmer months, the Batten Kill typically leaves an engine at Cargill near Greenwich Junction, or near Eagle Bridge. During the winter, however, the engine is kept in the enginehouse in Greenwich due to freezing temperatures. This affords the opportunity to photograph the seldom-used section of track between Greenwich and Cargill. One of the most photogenic sections of that line is along Skellie Road. In this going-away shot, Batten Kill Alco RS-3 #605 heads for Cargill to begin switching before making a trip to Eagle Bridge.
