Canaan Station (3 of 4)
Title:  Canaan Station (3 of 4)
Description:  Southbound. 1509 HRS. They had the Xing blocked just north of the station, so everytime they stopped for a photo, the sun was blocked by a cloud. Of course, when they went north to clear up, out came the sun.

Canaan Station (4 of 4)
Title:  Canaan Station (4 of 4)
Description:  Northbound. 1546 HRS. Time for me to head across Route 44 into New York, to The Taconic State Pkwy. The weather is now looking rather grim. The Weather Channel had predicted that at 1600, it would become cloudy. Right on the money.
