Just in
Title:  Just in
Description:  The power from an SLN 5 that came into town in the morning is now at the shop awaiting attention before it goes back to Jersey on the next eastbound. NYSW ran anything that would pull cars on those trains, as can be seen by the lineup here.

Title:  SLN5 early arrival
Description:  The early morning sun glints off SLN 5 as it arrives at CP Coles after an overnight trip up the Delaware Division. It will change power here to D&H units and continue toward Buffalo later in the day. SLN 4 is waiting beyond the signal on the double track, and will go east behind three freshly painted SD 45's once SLN 5 is past.

Showing the flag
Title:  Showing the flag
Description:  NYSW tried whenever possible to run its own power in the lead. Sometimes that meant one of the F 45s, which was always a treat. Todays MEBU has 3636 leading at BX, about to cross CR at BD. The signal governed the long out of service crossing of the EL and D&H here on a diamond. Now it's a pair of crossovers.

Every day is like this
Title:  Every day is like this
Description:  A wild assortment of power could be found at East Binghamton most days, and this day is like most. The two leased BAR units bracket a GATX lease unit. This trio will go out later as a helper set. The NYSW SD 45s were all over, as were a variety of other leased SD 45s, such as this ex Southern unit from NRL.

High Iron
Title:  High Iron
Description:  SLN 5 rolls west behind a trio of SD 45s on the Southern Tier between Johnson City and Endwell. Heavy rail, deep ballast, big power. Looks like the major leagues. This was a good photo spot, as it was easily accessible from NY 17, as well as NY 17C, locally known as the George F Highway, which parallelled the tracks here.

Waiting on ALCG
Title:  Waiting on ALCG
Description:  BUME, led by the common NYSW SD 45, waits just west of downtown Waverly as ALCG comes off the Lehigh Line and crosses over to track 1. It was not uncommon for the Hornell dispatchers to stick the D&H when they could.

Yellowjacket on the DLW
Title:  Yellowjacket on the DLW
Description:  MEBU rolls west on track 3, the former DLW westbound main. We see it passing a couple of notable Lackawanna structures. The obvious one is the 1907 station, now privately owned. The stack is from the powerhouse, used to provide power to the station and also the station steam lines for set off sleepers and other cars. The radio tower is a landmark, one of the earliest "Marconi" towers, used in the infancy of radio communications on the railroads. DLW was an early participant in radio, due to a large presence in the "sleet belt", where icing often took down telephone and telegraph lines in the winter.

All 45's.
Title:  All 45's.
Description:  PYRP starts out of East Binghamton, the train having been worked here, and NYSW power put on. The CSX or NS power it came in with from the south will turn here and go back on the next RPPY. The train has a full complement of 45's today, including an F 45 and SDP 45.

Coal and yellowjackets
Title:  Coal and yellowjackets
Description:  A four unit set of NYSW 45s has an eastbound PLMT, symbolled RC 1, for ReCrew, a dogcatch crew that relieved the outlawed crew from Buffalo, rolling through Waverly past the classic buildings that serve as a backdrop here. The semaphore has dropped to stop now that the train is several hundred feet past the signal.

East side of town
Title:  East side of town
Description:  The east side of Waverly has some notable features. Note how wide the tracks are here. There was a center siding here during Erie and EL days, which was removed by Conrail, but the tracks were never straightened. At left is a pet food plant, which would remain a Conrail customer for several more years. We see PLMT, a coal train for Mt Tom Mass, rolling past with four yellowjackets.

Pair of 22s

Description:  In this case, an SD 45 and an RS 36. The SD 45 was no big deal, but the Alco was one of a declining fleet. Good to see it still in service.

MEBU in the haze
Title:  MEBU in the haze
Description:  The trees in the northeast throw off a lot of water in the warm weather, making for a haze that hangs over the region most of the summer. MEBU comes around the curve at Chemung looking good, but the hills in the background are almost in a gof.

By the feed mill
Title:  By the feed mill
Description:  There were several industries east of downtown Waverly. The siding in the foreground goes to a place that makes brake parts for cars. There was a pet food plant, the other this big Agway feel mill. Both were Conrail customers, and MEBU will not be stopping to set off any of its 115 cars.

Through the mud
Title:  Through the mud
Description:  This field next to NY 17C at the foot of the overpass changed condition periodically. At one point, there had been an aggregate plant here-see photos in various Morning Sun books on the EL-but by the time I arrived in 1988, there were no structures on the parcel. It did get dug up from time to time. This was one of those times, and we see a 64 car BUME rolling past on its way east.

Title:  Used to be three here
Description:  MEBU rolls west at Waverly, where there is a lot of space between tracks 1 and 2. Up til the end of EL days, there was a siding between the two, one of two places on the Tier where this existed, the other being on the Buffalo Sub at Canaseraga.

Description:  Catching a meet on a double track railroad is a chancy prospect: you have to be in exactly the right place at exactly the right time. I was on this day, as BUME behind a set of NYSW power, meets TV 203 at speed. Shot from the car window.
