Going away
Title:  Going away
Description:  There were two sets of consecutive units on this train. The leaders were a pair of U23s, now a pair of ex Reading GP 39s. This was a typical power set in the mid 80s.

Ex D&H U23
Title:  Ex D&H U23
Description:  When Guilford took over the D&H, they moved much of the power around their roster, with the D&H units being most affected. An example of that is the two units leading this train. Once D&H U23Bs, they are now lettered for the Maine Central. It became a sore point at the D&H that Guilford kept all the newer power when it let the D&H go in 1988.

Rolling in from Buffalo
Title:  Rolling in from Buffalo
Description:  BUEB rolls in past the DLW yard tower as it makes its way slowly into the yard, its 70 cars to be worked and put on trains for New England and the south. It was unusual to see a solid set of Guilford power, so this was something of an anomaly.
