Yard work
Title:  Yard work
Description:  Two jobs are working at QD yard today. At left, an NYSW job, BH 2, is working with a lightning stripe GP 38 and an NYSW GE. At right, CR 6802 is leading OIBU as it works its side. CR 3214, the power for WABH 11, is tucked away for the day farther into the yard.

Old classics
Title:  Old classics
Description:  At the time, the SD 50 was not one of them, the leader of an OIBU posed in front of the real classics. Beyond the engine, we see the tower of the DLW station, now privately owned and in good shape. To the left of the station is one of the Marconi transmission towers, dating to 1913 when wireless radio was still experimental. The SD 50 was common then. Now, in 2018, there are not many still running in America.
