On the air
Title:  On the air
Description:  Sometimes MEBU would come in and the power would be cut off, either to change for other units, or for servicing and return to the train. Usually when this happened, if NYSW expected there to be several hours before the train went west, theyd leave a unit on to keep the air charged. Today, ex Reading 7408 has this duty.

Now thats more like it!!
Title:  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.
