A change of scenery
Title:  A change of scenery
Description:  Not the NYSW GEs, though ten years earlier, no one in his right mind would have said the perennially broke Suskie would have modern high horsepower diesels, but the building to the right. The back of the store there is part of a strip mall with a Family Dollar and a P&C Foods(itself now a memory). The building sits on what was once the Allegany Division yard that was across the main from the Hornell station.

Panorama
Title:  Panorama
Description:  A wide view of SLN 5 from the NY 17 access road at exit 60 shows the train passing through downtown Waverly, showing its two prominent trackside landmarks. At left is Ted Clarks Busy Market, which is still open as of August 2015. At right is the large Leprino Foods cheese plant, a Conrail customer. The plant is still open. Im unsure of ownership at this time. Behind the train downtown is the famous backdrop of old buildings.

Past the station
Title:  Past the station
Description:  BUME rolls past the Erie station at Owego in the glint of late day sun. The station, last I checked, was still occupied by a restaurant. If its the same one I remember, the food was mostly burger and fries type stuff, and pretty good.

The gangs all here
Title:  The gangs all here
Description:  There is quite the crowd at the East Binghamton fuel pad today. NYSW and D&H units bracket a new arrival, a GP39-2 rebuilt at M-K Mountaintop. This was a program undertaken by NYSW to update several units and repaint them into the D&H lighning stripe scheme. Two other 39s were done, 7403 and 7407, as well as several GP38-2s. The power at left will go out shortly on PYRP.

Going west
Title:  Going west
Description:  A late SLN 3-the train usually showed in the morning-rolls through Owego on a mission to get to Buffalo. A pair of GEs and a pair of 45s have the task today for the 65 Sea Land platforms, 6 COFC and 7 freight.Note the 40 MPH speed sign. Conrail allowed certain frieghts 50 here, as did EL in days past, so this is a speed restriction, most likely due to work being done in the area.

High view
Title:  High view
Description:  NYK 6 arrives with 65 stack platforms behind a pair of B 40s. The view is from the stairway of the Derby Knitting Mills, a large building that was a Binghamton landmark on the Chenango River. The GEs, train, and building are now gone from this scene, and the DLW bridge in the foreground is now single track. Such is progress.

NYK 6
Title:  NYK 6
Description:  NYSW continued to aggressively pursue international container traffic, and Walter Rich was pretty successful at it. This is NYK 6, and eastbound move for NYK steamship lines, though there are some Hanjins on the head end of the 65 platform train. A pair of B 40s has the train headed for Starrucca and Jersey, rolling past the water plant and Willow Run Foods at Kirkwood.

Erie relic
Title:  Erie relic
Description:  BUME rolls past the Erie station at Tioga Center, an overlooked part of the railroad scene in that town. The station was in serious disrepair-it's a wonder Conrail left it up so long. Indeed, it would crash under its own weight in a few years. To look at Tioga Center now, it's hard to believe such a small town had a station at all.
