And past the station, which is pretty well hidden in the trees at left. It will still be there for another dozen years or so, til finally the ravages of time and vandals take their toll. |

Streaking south |
Description: |
BT 2 rolls south approaching the PA 706 bridge south of New Milford with a pair of new lightning stripe rebuilds and an ex Guilford painted unit. The right of way for the old eastbound DLW track is now an open path. The trees will continue to make it harder and harder to find over the next 20 years. |

Now thats more like it!! |
Description: |
The M-K rebuild program has borne fruit, and the new diesels are back and in service. Showing the flag on this BUME at Phelps St in Port Dickinson are four lightning stripes, two each GP 38 and GP39-2s. My job allowed me some leeway in train watching-I ran a commercial laundry route-but not enough to give chase. Id have loved to see these on the bridge at Harpursville. GP 38-2 7307, the "Competition" leads the 73 cars of today's train. |

Turning north |
Description: |
PYRP is about to hit track 5, the track that diverges from track 3 to go to Bevier St and north. 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!! |
