Coal north |
| Description: |
CP for a while handled some New England coal trains with its own power in D&H hoppers. One such train, an 890, is coming around the corner on the Buffalo Runner into Bevier St yard as it starts its trip up Belden Hill. Power was typical for that traffic. |

Bandit patch |
| Description: |
Despite CP running quite a few SOO units on the D&H once they got a few years into their takeover, there were relatively few of the ex MILW "bandit patch" engines seen here. This one has been sold to Helm, and is southbound on a 261 at BX. Today's train has 10 stack platforms and 51 TOFC. |

Running solo |
| Description: |
Sometimes-not often, because despite the mostly river running, there were a couple of stiff grades on the line-trains would run with a single unit. Todays 252, the HAN job, headed to the NYSW and Jersey was one such train. I didnt get a car count on this train, but its already made the hard part of the trip, and should have an easy roll into Binghamton. The hoppers at left are sitting in the NYSEG Hickling Station, which had a capacity of about 12 cars on its siding. It was not one of the more efficient plants, and would soon be closed. |
