Rolling east at Roods Creek |
| Description: |
SLN 4 rolls around the big curve at Roods Creek-between Deposit and Hancock-though you cant see much of it for the foliage. This is a great spot in winter, but the NYSW SDs look good here in new paint. |

Great day for a picnic |
| Description: |
Down under Starrucca, where the D&H Penn Division once ran-you can see the right of way beyond the picnic table-is a small park. A little over a dozen years ago, you could see SD 45s here on a regular basis-the gray, maroon and yellow of the Erie Lackawanna, along with C628s on the D&H. The Penn Division is now only a memory, but its still good to see SD 45s on the viaduct. |

Coal power |
| Description: |
A power plant at Mt Tom Mass received coal from a mine in southwestern PA on the P&LE. Sometimes the power would run through to Binghamton, then turn back. I caught a set in the yard occasionally, though I was never able to see it on the road. |

A set of NYSW units, including a pair of new B 40s, has just pushed a northbound coal train up from Binghamton and is now getting set to roll back down the hill. NYSW used whatever was handy for pushers, and new high power road units were not exempt from this grueling service. |

Despite an effort to have NYSW power lead, and a trend toward more uniform power consists, sometimes the yards would turn out a dogs breakfast, such as this set of two Guilford painted units, lightning stripe, and a yellowjacket. But theres an Alco!! |

NY 7 with a local unit |
| Description: |
NYSW 2012 leads this NY 7 into Binghamton. While NYSW was not above using small power on road trains, the long hood first orientation of 2012 makes me think the stack outlawed before it got to Binghamton, and 2012 was sent out to retrieve the train. You never knew what to expect from the Susie Q. The 2012 leads a trio of SD 45s as a set of CP power sits on the 2 runner on the ex DLW in the distance. |
