Pulling up after set off
Title:  Pulling up after set off
Description:  The power off PYRP pulls up to cross back over to its train after setting off cars. This view shows the shop building, now largely unoccupied, as all locomotive work is done elsewhere. We see a couple of pieces of D&H equipment, though. A wide vision caboose in the distance, and a pig flat, not a common car type on the D&H.

The gangs all here
Title:  The gangs all here
Description:  There is quite the crowd at the East Binghamton fuel pad today. NYSW and/D&H units bracket a new arrival, a GP39-2 rebuilt at M-K Mountaintop. This was a program undertaken by NYSW to update several units and repaint them into the D&H lighning |tripe scheme. Two other 39s were done, 7403 and 7407, as well as several GP38-2s. The power at left will go out shortly on PYRP.
