It was the last day of our little trip and we began with breakfast in Albany, New York. I didn't really have anything planned for the day so we just sort of made up the plan as we went along. I figured it would be nice to find a decent location along the CSX tracks and see what traffic showed up. We found a nice quiet location in Fonda, New York and spent a couple hours there.

After a while we decided it was time to move on. I wanted to stop at Utica to see what might be around the station. The Mohawk, Adirondack and Northern had two C-425s parked amidst some clutter that I was able to photograph.

Nothing else was around so we continued westward. I like to try to stop off at Geneva whenever I'm in the neighbourhood. I photographed a somewhat dismantled Finger Lakes Railway B23-7 out behind the shops.

Then we completed our journey home. Overall it was a nice trip. I got to visit two more states on my list and we saw some great scenery. The trains seen certainly weren't plentiful but they were interesting. Like most trips I later discovered a couple other locations we probably should have visited, but Connecticut and Rhode Island aren't that far away. I can always return.
