| Title: |
Meet with Alcos on both trains |
| Description: |
CP still had a good sized fleet of MLWs in that period, and they often ran on the D&H. Here 553 holds the main as 556 rolls its 52 cars past with a GP9 rebuild leading a pair of C424s, passing the M636 trailing on 553. |

| Title: |
Power change |
| Description: |
This 553 train left Binghamton with CP 5646 leading. it must have crapped out somewhere on Belden Hill and this GP9 leader was brought up from Binghamton, or swapped off 556. Still, it looks good in clean paint, even if the delay has now put the train almost in darkness, now rolling on past GR with its 82 cars. |
