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. |

Train 277 behind a pair of blue Gators rolls around the big curve west of Campville. Looks like they've been playing in the snow a little bit. |

Southbound across the diamond |
| Description: |
A southbound with one yellow and two blue GATX lease units crosses CR at BD and heads for CPs yard with 81 cars. My notes say this is a 261, but that cant be right. Im thinking its 554, which would be correct for the time of day, but ut usually didnt get lease power. Ah, aging brain cells. |

Old signals |
| Description: |
In its original configuration, the DLW S&U lines crossed the D&H here at a location called BX and went to East Binghamton yard, which today is used by CP. The D&H Bevier St yard was(is) to the left out of the photo, It commected here to the DLW and the Erie, with the line to their passenger station and the Erie yard crossing the DLW line. Were looking south on the Lackawanna at a CP train coming up the old DLW, and heading onto the D&H in a reworking of the junction, now all switches with the diamond long removed. The signals guarded the BX crossing, but have been out of service for a long tiime by the date of this photo. |

Grain east |
| Description: |
Once CP started to integrate operation of the D&H systemwide, a 390 was established that ran from Minneapolis to Port of Albany. This train often got SOO power a lot of the time in solid sets. Todays effort is a mix of power, including one of CP's ex NS SD40-2's that was made into a B unit-note the 4th unit with blanked windows-as we see it passing signal 223-1 wrong main on the last lap into Binghamton with a typical train of 91 cars. |
