| Cutler Creek about to go underneath East High Street and eventually I-86 in Corning and there's a Wendy's and Bob Evans at this exit, good eats!!! |
 |
| Crossing over where the Cohocton River meets the Tioga River near Painted Post, NY. In this area, those two rivers become the Chemung River. |
 |

 |
| Riding through Portage, NY, the weather was starting to get "interesting"! |
 |
| Now back in Letchworth State Park at Portageville, NY (yes there's a town named Portage, and another named Portageville), we're crossing the mighty Genesee River and lots of railfans/spectators came out to see us as we continued on our journey back to Buffalo! |
 |
| A wide-angle version of this million dollar view from the bridge of the Letchworth Gorge! |
 |
| Looking south this time at the Genesee River at Portageville. |
 |
| Another view looking south, more railfans were there to see us as well! |
 |
| The brush on the south side of the bridge has been cleared out by Norfolk Southern in preparation of the new replacement bridge's construction so this wider view for the railfans was made possible. Good luck again trying to get a parking space in this part of Letchworth State Park!!! |
 |
| Near Silver Springs, NY, its definitely getting cloudy, I sure hoped the rain would hold off until the end of the trip but eventually it did rain! |
 |
| OK, the sun's back as we pass this gravel pit in Alexander, NY. |

 |
| So that's where my old car ended up after I traded it in! |
 |
| Cue the Van Halen music! We're now passing CP-Panama, back in Bison Yard. We would then back up onto the Panama Lead track. |

 |
| #765 in the evening "glint" light, despite dodging some raindrops at the end, it was a great day for a train ride! |
 |
| Lots of passengers hung out by the train after we got back to the yard for pictures and to get one last look at the mighty Berkshire! |
 |
| A wide-angle view of the train at the end of a great run! |
