Lots of old stuff here
Title:  Lots of old stuff here
Description:  Train 553 rolls through BX in a scene that has some classic New York flavor. Note the Genesee Beer truck between the trailing unit and the first trailer, in the background, a long time upstate NY favorite. On the railroad side, the signal that protected the crossing of the DLW and D&H at BX still stands, its lights long smashed out, but the classic mast is not giving up just yet.

Getting underway

Running in the rain
Title:  Running in the rain
Description:  Binghamton was the rain capital of the northeast, or so it seems. There were two weather conditions there: raining, and going to rain. Here we are in the rain along US 11 near the Kirkwood water plant as a motley mix of power that only NYSW could concoct rolls SLN5 west to a CP recrew at Binghamton with 150 platforms.
