Hiding out
Title:  Hiding out
Description:  This RS 1 was stashed under the NY 363 overpass, not quite in the shadows. It has seen its last road call, and is now waiting for the torch.

The end is near
Title:  The end is near
Description:  There were several RS 1s parked in the NYSW yard at Binghamton, among them this unit, 238, and 252. They are not long for the world, and would soon be keeping a date with the torch. A last look at a classic.

NYSW oddities
Title:  NYSW oddities
Description:  NYSW 2010, a former LIRR C 420 equipped with a steam generator-note the high short hood-and ancient RS 1 238 sit at the Binghamton engine shop. The C 420 has neen renumbered since the last time I photographed it three years prior. It was 260, now a horsepower based 2010.
