Chessie Cat 4017 leads SR94 at pole number 21/30 at Limerock, NY on September 12, 1985. The designation on the pole stood for MP21, pole #30. Bill will correct me if that is wrong. That looks like it could be Wendell & Don in the lead unit. Possibly Jesse in the 2nd unit. Been a looonnnggg time.

CN's Toronto - Sarnia train #81 approaches Frank Lane, between Hyde Park and Komoka, behind GP40 4017. The weather is till cool enough to warrant the use of a steam generator car. Note the unusual livery of the baggage car. This was painted in this way for use with the stainless steel ex-Reading 'Crusader' cars which CN purchased in the 1960s.
CSX M744 heads to Moncrief yard on a Saturday because Friday's crew went on the law before they could make it. Thus, the train stayed in Whitehouse siding overnight.
Emperor Goose posing nicely.....
The emperor goose (Anser canagicus), also known as the beach goose[ or the painted goose] is a waterfowl species in the family Anatidae, which contains the ducks, geese, and swans. In summer, the emperor goose is found in remote coastal areas near the Bering Sea in arctic and sub-arctic Alaska and the Russian Far East, where it breeds in monogamous pairs. It migrates south to winter in ice-free mudflats and coasts in Alaska, mostly the Aleutian Islands, and Canada's British Columbia, rarely reaching the contiguous United States. Listed as near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the species' population is declining due to threats such as pollution, hunting, and climate change.
