Grain to Albany
Title:  Grain to Albany
Description:  A 390 grain train to the Port of Albany rolls north near Old State Road. The empty bridge in the foreground is the old DLW Syracuse and Utica Branch. This segment of it was abandoned as part of the project that raised the overpasses at Beview St. The NYSW, who now uses the line, runs on the D&H to a point just north of here, reaching its own line via a new connecting track.

Southbound
Title:  Southbound
Description:  A southbound train is holed up short of the farm crossing at Afton waiting on a recrew. Quite the power mix. One oddity of the CR split was the chance to see Conrail power on the D&H, almost unheard of prior to that time.

Big power for a turn
Title:  Big power for a turn
Description:  Trains 512 and 513 were established as Taylor Turns to run traffic between the two yards, and presumably to work any industry along the way, which by this time was precious little. We see a pair of SOO units-the trailing 6607 was originally SOO-approaching East Binghamton.
