Meet at BD |
| Description: |
Eastbound 270 behind SOO power is about to meet the NYSW Sea Land train that is about to change crews and head for Buffalo. The 270 will head into East Binghamton across the river, get switched, and then roll north to Mohawk. This photos shows part of the layout at BD. The tracks to the left are the former DLW main, with the line going across to the Court St overpass and under SLN5 is the former DLW Syracuse and Utica line, now used by CP to get to the D&H.&Conrail ownership of what had been tracks 3(farthest) and 4(closest to the camera) started here. They were, respectivelt, the 2 and 1 running tracks on the CP, leading over the Susquehanna Riwer to their East Binghamton yard, a former DLW facility. Conrail had redisgnated tracks 3 and 4 to the Johnson Runnng Track and DL 4 respectively bhy this time. |

HAN 2 |
| Description: |
HAN2 rolls up onto the D&H at thc former location of BX cabin. Hanjin trains ran through onto the NYSW, but if the connecting line, in this case NYSW, could not recrew immediately, Conrail made them park the train off the Tier til it was ready to go. Once NYSW has a crew ready, the train will back onto the Tier at QD and head east. |

F45 still rolling |
| Description: |
NYSW 3636 seemed to have 9 lives. Unlike sister 3638, which was a hangar queen and retired early, 3636 lasted almost til the end of the 45 line era on the NYSW. Here we see it down along Court St near the power house for the Binghamton State Hospital, waiting on the BH 1 crew to take it east. |

Sadness or euphoria |
| Description: |
NYSW had some interesting power through the years, though sometimes it was not all that attractive. When it was painted in yellowjacket, it looked sharp. There were also periods where it looked pretty sad, patch painted and mismatched. Today its sadness and not euphoria, as an ex SP tunnel motor in a multicolor patch paint job leads a pair of ex Cartier big Alcos, still mostly in their old scheme. Theres also a glimpse of F 45 3636, in yellowjacket, and definitely in a state of euphoria, as its running. This is SU 99 arriving from Jersey. The tunnel motor would soon get the yellow and black the NYSW is famous for; the Alcos would get sold to WNY&P before they ever got close to a paint booth, and 3636 would eventually become a hangar queen and go to scrap. |

Detour |
| Description: |
CSX would sometimes hand off overflow traffic to the NYSW. These trains, SU 403 and 404 on the Suskie, were obviously not high priority, as it would sometimes take 24 hours to get them from Jersey back onto CSX at Syracuse. Here we see one of them behind a Bright Future standard cab C40 and the surviving F45, 3636, just after taking the switch to the Syracuse branch at Chenago Forks. |
