On the Lackawanna |
| Description: |
KL 1 rolls out track 3 past the old DLW station, avoiding Conrails WABH 11, which was working its train on the Erie side. Three CP units have todays K Line stacks well in hand for the trip to Buffalo. The train will get onto the Tier a mile to the west, at CP Johnson. We get a good look at remaining DLW facilities in this photo. The station is at right, behind the power. The cars behind the train are in the set off tracks, where sleepers were spotted in and out of through trains. The cars there now belong to the Susquehanna Valley NRHS. The small building with the stack is the station powerhouse, which provided power to the station complex, and steam for the set out cars. The steel tower is one of the earliest radio installations in the country, done by Marconi himself when DLW was testing the viability of radio communications in the early 20th century. It is now an engineering landmark. |

Short time |
| Description: |
Not only is the crew on short time-theyll be in Binghamton in less than 30 minutes with this 73 car BUME, but so is the location. The shrubs and trees planted here near Kinney Rd will grow, and in a few years, this shot will not be possible. |

Power assist |
| Description: |
When CP took over operation of the D&H, they almost immediately brought in leased power to augment their own fleet. There were two groups of power initially, from GATX and PLM(Precision Leasing Management). The PLM units were in this attractive blue scheme, and became known as "plums" to the local fans. Two of them lead a pair of CP units on 555, formerly PYRP, at BX, passing the Agway feed mill. |

164 rolls though Bevier St |
| Description: |
164 rolls down the Binghamton Runner as it heads for BD and Conklin yard. Leader 5666 has the battered appearance the most of the "Action Red" painted units achieved after years on the road. |

Another reliable daylight train into Binghamton was intermodal train 164, which usually showed in the afternoon. We see it rolling through BX on its way to the yard. |
