Slowly through town

Contributor Pick

WAIT 2 rolls south past the Food King parking lot, adhering to the 10 MPH speed limit through downtown, pulling a line of salt cars from the Cargill mine up on Cayuga Lake. Of note is the trailing unit, one of CR's ten C32-8's. These were a Conrail only model, and spent most of their time on the Boston and River Lines, and rarely strayed. Finding this one in Ithaca was a real catch.

The "WAIT." LOL What a great symbol for freights going through Ithaca!

A very nice catch on the train going 10 mph, and the information about the C32-8
