CSX detour
Title:  CSX detour
Description:  During summer track work season, CSX would send detour trains over NYSW on a daily basis. Mostly these were low priority trains, usually Q 403 and 404. Q 156 was a higher priority train that often made the trip via Binghamton. We see it here passing Kirkwood Industrial Park along US 11 with a UP leader, with 46 freight and 79 stacks for Jersey.

On familiar turf
Title:  On familiar turf
Description:  A HATX lease unit leads BH 2 down the ramp at Old State Road as it heads out of Binghamton. The unit was once one of B&Ms last order of new diesels, a GP40-2 delivered in 1978, and a frequent visitor here via the D&H.

Leased power on BH 2
Title:  Leased power on BH 2
Description:  Sometimes NYSW would run short of power, and find themselves in the lease market. Sometimes this meant some really ratty looking diesels. Here we see a pair of ex Guilford units at Old State Rd in Port Dick heading north late in the day.
