Go green!!
Title:  Go green!!
Description:  Long before it was an environmental imperative, NYSW had lots of green, though theirs was ex BN. A pair of them lead this BUME up the Buffalo Runner toward Bevier St and a crew change.

Long stacks
Title:  Long stacks
Description:  Conrail would not let the D&H/NYSW stack trains change crews on their main, so the trains had to pull into one of the yards. This SLN 4 is pulled down to Terrace Drive, its train stretched all the way back out to the north end. It will be a long back up move to get back out onto the Tier to go east at BD.

Holiday
Title:  Holiday
Description:  In recent years, some railroads have pretty much shut down, with only essential operations running. Apparently, Sea Land stacks were not essential, as this SLN 3 is backed onto the Utica Branch, waiting for a D&H crew that will come on later this evening for the run to Buffalo.

Turning move
Title:  Turning move
Description:  A set of power has come out of East Binghamton and across CR at BD, and will shortly clear the crossovers at the south end of Bevier St. Then it will go back down to QD, reverse and go through town on the Tier to get back to the yard. Guess they really wanted the NYSW B 40 leading.

Why they turned the power
Title:  Why they turned the power
Description:  Walter Rich put out a directive when the NYSW started running the D&H that NYSW painted units were to lead wherever practicable. This power set is being turned to get the B 40s in the lead. The unit on the other end is a leased GATX GP 38, so its also possible the crew wanted the new unit to run from.

Taking them back
Title:  Taking them back
Description:  An ABBU waits for a crew on the Buffalo Runner with a train of empty grain hoppers to go back to Buffalo, and eventually to the SOO for reload in Minneapolis. The B23 assigned to Conrail's WABH 11 sits in their yard, and to the left of the signal we see a derelict C 430.

Busy place
Title:  Busy place
Description:  Despite not being nearly the busy place it was during EL years, there were times in the late 80s and early 90s when there could be quite a bit of action. Today we have some of it as a BUAB with NYSW and D&H power holds track 2, waiting to crossover and take the Buffalo Runner at QD, while a ballast train heads for tie up on the DLW main.

Looks like KL 1
Title:  Looks like KL 1
Description:  Six NYSW units lead what looks like a KL 1, but was called MEBU on the radio. There were probably not enough cars to run the trains separately-the car count was 73 on this train-so they were combined, saving a crew start. We see the train near the Tioga County transfer station, about where the LV Auburn Branch ducked under the EL. Two of the original four B40's are on this train.

Helping out
Title:  Helping out
Description:  KL 1 rolls west behind a single NYSW B40. The NYSW would continue to provide power on Tier trains til CP got enough units on line to run the trains, though Suskie power would continue to run through on stack trains. The original four B40s would stay, but within a few months, CSX would take back the units they financed, 4010-4048.

Title:  Its a CP train now
Description:  CP took over the D&H in July 1990. Stack trains continued to run through with NYSW power, an arrangement that would lead to CP power in New Jersey as well as yellowjackets in Buffalo, as we see here on this SLN 5, symbolled 255 by CP-and DHT 9 by Conrail(got all that??) rolling across the Chemung River, seen from the Clemens Center Parkway bridge.

SU 100
Title:  SU 100
Description:  SU 100 was the trackage rights train that started it all. When NYSW got the ex DLW Syracuse and Utica lines in 1982, they negotiated trackage rights from Passaic Jct to Binghamton over Conrail to move cars from one part of the operation to the other. Those trains were symbolled SU 99 west and SU 100 east. This SU 100 is getting ready to roll to Jersey with the usual non stack traffic. There must not have been an eastbound stack that day; NYSW usually added cars at Binghamton to any stacks going to Jersey.

Combined effort
Title:  Combined effort
Description:  Sometimes if there were not enough cars for two trains, 558 and 270 would be combined out of Buffalo. Such is the case here, as the 105 car train has power for both of its components, 270s power ahead, with 558s two CP units trailing. We see it at East Hornell, where it is about to meet a hi-wide Conrail extra.
