Rolling on through
Title:  Rolling on through
Description:  A shot I liked to get, though I didnt do it often because you had to stand in the traffic lane on NY 7 to do it, was this view of a southbound coming off the Susquehanna River bridge from Sidney into Bainbridge. I braved the traffic(it was Sunday, not that it makes a lot of difference here) to get this shot of 269 with an ex Conrail leader.

Three today
Title:  Three today
Description:  Trains 268 and 269 were notable for almost always getting a pair of GEs. Once in a while, an EMD would sneak in, and almost never would there be three units or foreign power. Today is exceptional, as 268 has a trio of units, and an ex CR leader, seen on the famous high bridge.

CR where you would not expect it.
Title:  CR where you would not expect it.
Description:  A couple of years into the takeover, CR units were everywhere, and the NS trains that ran on the D&H were no exception. This is a 269 just south of Oneonta, a place that had seen almost no CR power for that roads entire existence, now getting it on a regular basis. It does look good in the snow!!
