The coal trains to NYSEGs Milliken Station, north of Ithaca, though there were usually three up and down in any given week, ran on an irregular basis, and could show at any time, so it was always a treat to find one. This 125 car train bound for the power plant is northbound behind a leader that is familiar with the territory as it rolls through West Danby on the ex LV.

NS 642 PPLX coal train for PPL's Montour Power Plant
After a nearly 4 hour delay caused by a highway traffic incident at the PA Rt. 54 crossing about 2 miles west of here, NS 66D on the Industrial Track passes an empty PPLX train of aluminum coal gons at PPL's Montour Power Plant. The empty PPLX train, NS 643, would be the first "Ridge" train to operate over the NBER since that line sustained washouts from severe storms on June 27, 2013.
