Gray day, brown units
Title:  Gray day, brown units
Description:  When the NYSW took over operation of the D&H, the power was given a quick paint out, and sent on its way. Heres an MEBU rolling through Waverly behind a couple of GTI paint outs with one of the renumbered GP 38's leading, on a typically cloudy Tier day.

Passing the freight house
Title:  Passing the freight house
Description:  SLN 5 with a stealth leader passes the old Erie freight house. It was a huge structure, largely empty by this time. It would be demolished in about five more years. The signal, the intermediate between BD and West BD, would also come down in a few years.

Knocking it down
Title:  Knocking it down
Description:  One of the great things about semaphores is watching them drop as a train passes. I had the pleasure this morning, as BUME rolls past the blade on signal 255-2 at Waverly, seen above the truck to the left of the train.

New and rebuilt
Title:  New and rebuilt
Description:  A front end roster view of newly rebuilt at M-K 7407, one of eight units rebuilt and repainted into the lightning stripe scheme. This unit, along with the other 39s, would go to CSX once CP took over the D&H-I saw one in Ohio on the ex B&O about six years later-but the 38s would last a long while into the CP era. As I write this in 2016, there is still at least one in this scheme.
