C98 // Buffalo Central Terminal

            An NS transfer train from Bison Yard heads north up the Belt line for CSX Frontier Yard, splitting the former main concourse for BCT through fresh snowflakes as it rounds an iconic curve, at least for railfans living here. I don't recall much about this day, in fact I don't even think I knew in advance that they'd have a high and wide going north. According to a Facebook post from that day, I just happened to be out and heard the crew talking to the Bison yardmaster, being told they had "permission down the runner, SK to Clinton, hold at 437 and work with dispatch." Dispatch in this case being CSX NG Jacksonville. Likely the high and wide part came during that chat with them. Nevertheless, I believe this to be one of my first shots at the Terminal, still within my first year of joining the railfan community. There was so much to explore around Western New York, I'm just surprised I didn't go there sooner. I ended up spending a lot of time around there in 2021, exploring all the possible shot angles available from both ground and above. I think what I love most though is the combination of snow with the Terminal, it's just a very Buffalo scene. That, and it's not terribly composed like 70% of the photos I took in that first year with a camera. Surprisingly there's a gem or two hidden among a field of shots which, let's just say, will not be seen in a public capacity any time soon.
