It's quite possible. EL in color has a photo of PC power on UT-74 at 
Wellsburg, implying the PC locos may have been positioned at Hornell after 
dropping UT-97 at Elmira. I think this is a more likely scenario than EL 
locos being exchanged for the PC's at Elmira on UT-74.

Ah, yes.  Thank you.

No, certainly not.  Do you know if UT-97 would have just dropped its train 
in Elmira and then run as a "caboose hop" on to Hornell?  It occurs to me 
that the crew needed to get back to Hornell by the end of the day, and so 
did the power.  I seem to recall caboose hops going in both directions 
through Addison back in the mid 70s.
