New Market Pond |
| Description: |
There was a park in Piscataway NJ where the brush had been cleared from along the tracks, allowing a good view of the action. We see ALOI and 66 cars passing behind a representative sample of GEs. |

Work extra |
| Description: |
Summer time was track work time, and the Tier was not exempt. This work extra rolls through West BD on its way east to another work site. On the left, we see the Vestal Spur, the remaining portion of the ex DLW still in service in the Binghamton area. At the time, there were still a few customers in Johnson City, as well as the NYSEG Goudy Station, and National Pipe & Plastic in Vestal. There is now(2015) nothing left on that line, and NS is looking to abandon it. Thats St Michaels Orthodox Church on the right with the gold dome. |

B Boats galore |
| Description: |
Upstate NY was overrun with GEs, largely because Selkirk was the maintenance base for many of them, among them the 50 C30-7As, a unit unique to Conrail. There were also hordes of B 23-7s, which mostly worked in yard and local assignments. One of those was Fulton based local WAFU 12, seen here arriving at Dewitt with 78 cars behind its four GEs. |
