Empty coal |
| Description: |
An empty Bow Coal train from New Hampshire rolls into Bevier St behind a mix of power, including a pair of recently acquired SD 26s. The consist is otherwise notable for the lead and trailing units. The leader was until recently a D&H 7600 series GP 39-2, now in Guilford paint and lettered B&M. It will stay on Guilford when they pull out of the D&H a year from now. The trailing unit is an ex Detroit Edison unit, one of several Guilford acquired. |

Hi hood classics |
| Description: |
I dont usually shoot mid consist power, but these NW SD45s were becoming rare, and too good to resist. They were in the consist of BFOA that was parked on track 4 waiting for yard space. Dont recall at this point-almost 30 years later-if they were running or dead in tow. Nice to think they might still be working. |

Youd never know it |
| Description: |
Spring is only a week in the future, but the winter wont quit. In fact, its not unusual to have snowfall well into April. This BUEB waits out a snow squall at QD, its crew undoubtedly anticipating somewhere warmer than an engine cab in the near future. |

Turning the power |
| Description: |
Sometimes the D&H would need to turn an engine of set of power. There was no working turntable at East Binghamton-the DLWs table had been out of service for years, and it would be after CP took over that a new one would be built-so it would have to be wyed via BD. This set is rolling up to Bevier St, where it will change direction, then head down the Buffalo Runner to QD, then back onto the Tier to head back through town into the yard. |

Jet powered |
| Description: |
Guilford established a pair of trains, JET 1 and JET 2 to make some kind of effort to hasten freight velocity to New England. In an optimistic approach by the marketing types, these were called JET 1 westbound, and JET 2 eastbound. Here we see JET 1 coming through Bevier St with 102 cars. It will take the Buffalo Runner to QD, where a new crew will get on for the trip to Buffalo, avoiding the yard and its interinable terminal delay. |

NY 10 |
| Description: |
NY 10, an eastbound Sea Land train, has arrived at QD and is waiting for permission up the Buffalo Runner for a crew and power change, since Conrail will not allow the D&H and NYSW to do this on the Tier. An ex Southern SD 45 leads, long hood forward, as Southern intended. |

Foam all around |
| Description: |
Among the trains NY 10 had to wait for that day was TV 301, here passing NY 10s power as it rolls through Binghamton. The faithful are out in force to witness the action. |

Awake thou wintry earth |
| Description: |
Two weeks into spring, the Earth is still a little groggy. SLN 5 makes its way past a field of stubble corn that wont see a plow for a few more weeks yet, splitting the semaphores at MP 337 as it goes, the signal on track 1 already dropping in response. 50 stack platforms make up the train today. |

Western NY panorama |
| Description: |
One of my favorite locations was this shot from the NY overpass just east of Canaseraga. It shows the Erie split level main, as well as a great view looking east. SLN 5 rolls west behind a pair of Springfield Terminal units to complete the scene. |

Mostly gone |
| Description: |
Many of the elements of this scene, taken 27 years prior to this being posted, are now gone. The sempahore-gone. Track 2-gone. The bridge I'm standing on-gone. The power, an SD 26 and an SD 39-gone. NY 70 to the left of the tracks is still there; the hills are timeless. The Sea Land stacks of this SLN 5 now travel via another route; Sea Land itself was sold to Maersk, so theyre gone too. And its been nearly 40 years since EL last ran a train here, at MP 352 near Dalton. |
