12T rolls over the Chenango River behind an early C40 and a BNSF H 1 painted GE, taking 52 cars to Buffalo.

One of the two NS trackage rights trains to run on CP south of Binghamton, 12T, rolls 52 cars through the north end of East Binghamton behind the usual home road power, and a western visitor in the form of an H1 BNSF unit. While the other train pair, 30 and 31T got CN power routinely, 12 and 13T could get anything, and it was not uncommon to see UP and BNSF power, but others as well. I have seen Wisconsin Central and Montana Rail Link units on these trains.

Crowded Service Station (from right to left): BNSF 4683, NS 9787, NS 9367, BNSF 974, BNSF 4993 (under sanding tower); BNSF 1779 (wearing BN green-white hazard nose) and BNSF 1550 to the right of the inspection pit shed; BNSF 5013 in power line-up wanting nothing to do with the UP hidden mostly behind the shed, but _almost_ in line; and a yard pair headed by BNSF 2339 just barely visible over the tops of the real power. Two unspecified switchers on active duty in the background while a coal drag slips past on the main-line pair.

Swooshes get 3rd and 4th behind a Heritage 1 and a Warbonnet on an eastbound Z train, the once proud yard is now simply a spot to store cars, there's a shot here somewhere of the yard full of passenger cars in the 1960s

A dyslexics nightmare of light power races west into Argentine, always nice to see a Heritage 1 Dash 9 leading

Three Chicago to Selkirk trains ran one right after another here this morning; here's the first one. They're running on track 2; the track that leads off of it is track 7. Track 7 goes to the Amtrak station and runs parallel with the main for about four miles.
