Good looking leader |
| Description: |
The leader on this BUME at QD is one of the new B 40s, but the rest of the consist is somewhat rag tag. Doesnt make for the best photo, but dirty power runs just as good as clean. |

Its a CP train now |
| Description: |
CP took over the D&H in July 1990. Stack trains continued to run through with NYSW power, an arrangement that would lead to CP power in New Jersey as well as yellowjackets in Buffalo, as we see here on this SLN 5, symbolled 255 by CP-and DHT 9 by Conrail(got all that??) rolling across the Chemung River, seen from the Clemens Center Parkway bridge. |

Where semaphores once stood |
| Description: |
CP 255, the SLN 5, rolls between the signal at MP 243(actually signals 242-1 and -2, MP 243 was just a little to the west), which were, up til this week, the famous twin semaphores. Its just not the same with Type Gs. |

Making the grade |
| Description: |
A pair of NYSW units sandwich a "plum" as we often called the blue PLM lease units, as it is about the finish the steady climb ot Gulf Summit. This is SLN 5, today with 115 stack platforms and a lone conventional freight car. Once over the top, its 35 miles and a ride across Starrucca to get to Binghamton, where a CP crew will take over for the trip to Buffalo. Note the trailing unit, NYSW 4040. This is one of the CSX financed units that served on the NYSW during the directed service of the D&H. It will soon be returning to CSX. |
