Apr 1988 - Near Selkirk Yard - CR 6611 GE C32-8 Serial # 44496 Built 9/1984
BUOI is stopped at the office in Binghamton, adjacent to the old Erie freight house. I took the opportunity to get a shot of a rare unit on the Tier, C32-8 6611. These units were almost exclusive to the River and Boston Lines, as they were based out of Selkirk. This one got to Oak Island and strayed.
This unidentified 70 car eastbound is passing the station and the entrance to the CV yard at Palmer.
SENH is about to crest the summit of the Berkshires in the last light of day as it makes its way into West Springfield, where it will turn south to New Haven.
SENH passes Woronoco, and will shortly be through Westfield and into West Springfield yard. That's US 20 at left beyond the trees.
SENH has made it over the top, and is now rolling downhill into West Springfield, here passing Becket
There were still some stations on the line, such as this one at Chester. The light is fading as SENH rolls past with 91 cars.
I think it was TV 6, approaches the top of the hill east of Pittsfield Mass en route to Beacon Park with three of the only ten C32-8's ever built. .
In a pose only NS could do, a four unit set of power runs reverse elephant-all units long hood forward. Bet the engineer loved this.

CR 6611, a C32-8 unique to Conrail, sits outside the office in the old Erie freight house as it gets its switching orders. C 32-8s were uncommon here, as they were based out of Selkirk, and typically were found on the Boston Line over the Berkshires.
