  • The morning of May 11th had started off like any other long trip's morning: early. We were out the door running by about 4 o'clock to begin our nearly five-hour trek northeast. After about two calm hours of being the only car on I-81, the sun had finally made its appearance to stay for the rest of the day. After crossing into New York and changing onto I-88, our route began to parallel the old D&H, and, as the miles ticked on, my father looked over to the tracks (I was driving) and noticed a northbound train. As we overtook it from afar, my dad looked over once more and noticed the Conrail Heritage Unit. I threw our 2005 Buick into hyperdrive as to get a ways ahead, while my dad looked for crossings along the D&H. We happened upon a crossing not too far off the beaten path in Worcester, NY. After a quick stop in town to see the train and get some food (Funnily enough, in January, we had stopped in Worcester for snacks and a bathroom break as well), we continued towards Amsterdam. It was by sheer coincidence that my father and I had planned a railfanning trip up to Amsterdam for that day. It wasn't until other railfans had shown up a few trains in that we remembered it was National Train Day. The highlight of the day, I would say, was the hilarious, hours-long foam fest over what we thought at the time was a standard cab CN Dash 8, but turned out to be a wide nose of AT&SF lineage (45:44).
