PIED rolls its 149 cars out onto the bridge in low afternoon light
One of the more interesting, but hard to get, shots was this on along the rock ledge west of Waverly. TV 202 is making its way east under O'Brien's Inn, a landmark along the cliff for many years. The hard part about this shot was that you had to park on the shoulder of NY 17 east, an expressway, and climb up a steep embankment, risking getting run off(or tickeyed) by the state troopers. The location is just as you approach the exit 60 off ramp.
TV 202 rolls past the old Erie station and the Ward & van Scoy feed mill as it comes out of the sunset and on toward Binghamton and a crew change.
Shooting from far off was not always an option on the Tier-or for that matter, much of the northeast due to the heavy tree cover. Once in a while in certain locations it would work, such as with this TV 202, seen from the NY 17 off ramp to NY 427 at exit 59. .
Shortly after I quit the chase on ML 401, TV 202 rolled east with 112 stack platforms
