First train to Somerset. - a photo on Flickriver

            This image is from my collection but was not taken by me. It was received as a gift. The image is of the 1st coal train to NYSEG's Somerset Station coal fired power plant and was taken from a helicopter. With the track North of here now being torn up, I thought the time was right to post this historical photo.
