Behind Enemy Lines

            Im going to give myself some credit, I always seem to have this unwavering optimism underneath all the cynicism  I tend to exude. When I get fucked, I will always try to squeeze something else in for the possibility of a consolation prize, sometimes I end up with something better, and this one of those cases. I walked down to the old NYC Gardenville Branch bridges over the NS and CSX mains here in Blasdell bright and early with my head on a constant swivel for CSX vehicles and any others, as I was expecting the OCS to be departing against the sun and this was all I could come up with for a shot. Lo and behold, when I got to the bridge I received confirmation it left and hour before I even fuckin arrived. So, I decided to go on a walk around the area surrounding the tracks and ended up with a nice morning of exploring what's left of a section of railroad we lost many years ago. After some time this CSX intermodal coming in to work Seneca started yapping on the radio and I squatted down under the girders of the CSX side to wait for my moment to pop up for a shot. The dirt from the construction facility off to the left provided some interesting background for this single YN2 leader as it rolls through the morning sun gaps and underneath a happy railfan. I don't exactly recommend going back here, but it was fun as hell for this guy.
