HAN 2 in the yard |
| Description: |
IF the NYSW did not have a crew ready, Conrail would not let the train stay on the Tier, and NYSW had to stow it in a yard. This was done either on the Utica Branch, or at East Binghamton, depending on operational needs. Today, the choice is East Binghamton, and we see a HAN 2 pulling down to Terrace Drive behind a pair of NS units. When the NYSW crew is on, they will back out through BD and head east. |

On the air |
| Description: |
Sometimes NYSW would cut the power off an MEBU and take it to the yard, leaving one unit on to keep the air pumped up. The new power(or sometimes the power it came in with) would come out, couple on, and go west. Today, one of the original D&H 7600 series GP 39's has the honors of keeping the brakes charged at the south end of Bevier St. |

On the air |
| Description: |
Sometimes MEBU would come in and the power would be cut off, either to change for other units, or for servicing and return to the train. Usually when this happened, if NYSW expected there to be several hours before the train went west, theyd leave a unit on to keep the air charged. Today, ex Reading 7408 has this duty. |

ABBU was an empty grain train from the Port of Albany that ran as needed. As such, it was not a priority, and ran when a crew was available, so it would often get yarded at Binghamton. This one is now crewed and rolling out, and will shortly be headed west on the Tier. |

| Description: |

The NYSW SD 45s were familiar sights in this era, the SDP 45s with actual steam generators(EL had 'em without the passenger equipment, they just wanted the longer frame for a bigger fuel tank), were unusual. The trailing unit is one of them, an ex GN unit now part of NRLs lease fleet. |

SU 2 was the local that worked the Binghamton area and north to Oneonta. Typical power was a pair of units. In CP days, this would be handled by a mix of GP9 rebuilds and GP 38s, with an occasional ex Guilford GP 40 thrown in. During the NYSW era, anything they had could show up, as in this case, a GP 39 and RS 36 holding down the job at Bevier St |

New unit |
| Description: |
New to the NYSW. This NRL lease unit has recently arrived, and is at East Binghamton in an attractive gray and red scheme reminiscent of the EL U34s. As a bonus, we have the D&H Bicentennial unit, still in red/white/blue 13 years later. |

Solo power |
| Description: |
The K Line trains, for some reason, seemed to get a single unit when they ran, a practice that would carry over into CP operations a few years later. The trains were usually short-a 50 platform train was long-but I cant help but wonder how many struggled over the hills of the D&H, or stalled. This one made it all the way to Bevier St, a good sign. |

Queen of the RS 11s |
| Description: |
The D&H lighning stripe scheme is well loved by fans, but perhaps the most elegant paint job was on RS 11 5002, which had a script "Delaware & Hudson" spelled out below the road number. When the paint was fresh and clean, it looked really good. In its later years, it became something of a hangar queen, spending more time at the shop than working the yard. I caught it this day outside the shop, once again out of service. |
