Hard to believe  Contributor's Pick!       
This used to be a 70 MPH main line. WABH 11, the Binghamton based local, heads down the Vestal Spur with a cut of coal for the NYSEG Goudy Station just before the bridge to Vestal. The train is crossing into Johnson City, with the rear still in Binghamton. Thats the Main St overpass in the background. There are still a couple of sidings off the spur at this time. The one to the left appears to have not seen any cars spotted in a long time, but there were a couple others between where Im standing and Baldwin St that did see a very occasional car. As I write this in March 2015, the lines future is not looking bright.
