October 1970 derailment at Ridge Rd. on the B&O lead into Kodak - 1 of 2
Title:  October 1970 derailment at Ridge Rd. on the B&O lead into Kodak - 1 of 2
Description:  The twins are sitting on the main just north of Ridge Rd. That's the passing siding in the foreground and RG&E is in the fenced area behind the train. Nobody's going anywhere - the shove move into Kodak put a couple of hoppers on the ground. The crew cut them off and pulled over the Ridge to clear the crossing.

B&O 9610
Title:  B&O 9610
Description:  Exact date unknown. Probably summer 1966. This was a Saturday move, lighter than most. The crew has finished its Kodak work and is leaving for the day. In order, 9610, a single Matthews & Fields load (NP boxcar), the caboose, and a string of Kodak go-aways to be left on the main between McCall and the Ridge while the crew heads north. Remarkably, Wehner Mower is still a going concern 50 some odd years later !!
