AMTK 95 leads the Lake Shore Limited east at Laird Rd. near Elbridge, NY.   Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited, train P048 on CSX, is eastbound on CSX's Rochester Subdivision at Laird Road in the Elbridge, NY., and Jordan, NY ., area. The train had just passed through control point (CP) 306, which can be seen in the distance. The Lake Shore Limited is approximately fifteen miles away from its next station stop at Syracuse, New York. Photograph taken on March 27, 2023, at Elbridge, New York.

  With snow falling, M561-18 is westbound on Main 2 of the Rochester Subdivision at Memphis, NY. Yesterday with some mid-morning snow falling, I caught CSXT 214 leading M561-19 (manifest train, Selkirk, New York, to Cincinnati, Ohio) at Memphis, New York . The train is westbound on Track 2 of CSX's Rochester Subdivision. In the distance, obscured by the snow the train is passing through Control Point (CP) 300 at Warner's New York. M561-18 is stopped at CP 306 as a crew member works to find the train's issue.   A short time after the train passed through Memphis, it made an emergency stop at  Jordan, New York , due to a loss of the computer display screens in the cab. The problem was a loose battery knife switch on the lead locomotive that caused the unit to lose partial power. Photograph taken on December 19, 2022, at Memphis, New York.
