Pushers in paradise
Title:  Pushers in paradise
Description:  I have always felt upstate NY is one of the most beautiful places anywhere. Its easy to see why in this scene of PLMTs pushers, a set of 45s, roll across the stone arch over NY 7, seen though the expanse of farmland.

Hold em back
Title:  Hold em back
Description:  This D&H unit was trailing RPPY at Crocker Hill Rd in Port Crane, presumably for dynamic braking, but it may also just be a pusher being returned to Binghamton. Sometimes a northbound would drop a helper at Afton if there was a southbound coming fairly soon, with that train taking it back down the hill.

Title:  Now thats more like it!!
Description:  The M-K rebuild program has borne fruit, and the new diesels are back and in service. Showing the flag on this BUME at Phelps St in Port Dickinson are four lightning stripes, two each GP 38 and GP39-2s. My job allowed me some leeway in train watching-I ran a commercial laundry route-but not enough to give chase. Id have loved to see these on the bridge at Harpursville. GP 38-2 7307, the "Competition" leads the 73 cars of today's train.
