NY 10 Panorama
Title:  NY 10 Panorama
Description:  I must have climbed up on one of the yard buildings or something to get this-try doing that nowadays!! This overhead view shows the NY 10 that had been waiting at QD behind a pair of ST units, now with the NYSW power on and ready to back out onto the Tier at QD for the trip east. It also shows the scenic beauty of the Southern Tier, which on a nice day can be really appealing. Its a truly beautiful place when its not raining. We're looking south from Bevier St(the actual street, not just the yard). The overpass is I 81/NY 17; the hills beyond are south of the Susquehanna River. In the right place, they afford a stunning view of downtown, or Vestal, depending on where you are.

Waiting for the new crew
Title:  Waiting for the new crew
Description:  NY 10 is pulled up into Bevier St yard awaiting a new crew for the final leg to Jersey. Conrail will not let the D&H/NYSW stacks change crews on their main, so they have to pull into either the D&H yard at East Binghamton, or onto the Buffalo Runner and the Utica Branch. When the new crew is on, they will back the train out onto CR at QD, then head east.

Local cars for the yard
Title:  Local cars for the yard
Description:  This set of NYSW power has backed its Sea Land stacks into East Binghamton, where Guilford will repower and recrew the train. It is now heading to the NYSW yard with the haulage cars from Jersey, passing BD as it comes out of the D&H yard and crosses the Tier.

Odd move
Title:  Odd move
Description:  This NY 10 arrived at Little Ferry behind NYSW 3620/3630/3614. The lead two units were cut off and went across the Overpeck Creek bridge, leaving 3614 to bring the train in by itself. The only thing I can think of that would require this is a weight restriction on the bridge. The 3614 starts its train into the yard now that the two leaders are in.

Rolling east at Roods Creek
Title:  Rolling east at Roods Creek
Description:  SLN 4 rolls around the big curve at Roods Creek-between Deposit and Hancock-though you cant see much of it for the foliage. This is a great spot in winter, but the NYSW SDs look good here in new paint.

Great day for a picnic
Title:  Great day for a picnic
Description:  Down under Starrucca, where the D&H Penn Division once ran-you can see the right of way beyond the picnic table-is a small park. A little over a dozen years ago, you could see SD 45s here on a regular basis-the gray, maroon and yellow of the Erie Lackawanna, along with C628s on the D&H. The Penn Division is now only a memory, but its still good to see SD 45s on the viaduct.

West on track 3
Title:  West on track 3
Description:  Sometimes if there was a conflicting move on the Erie side, the Hornell dispatcher would run a train in or out of East Binghamton on the DLW side, known here since EL days as track 3. MEBU is getting the DLW side this morning as it heads west. It will go past the Lackawanna station downtown as it heads for West BD and the Erie main there. It's a Saturday morning, and the faithful are on hand to see the action.

Big view
Title:  Big view
Description:  SLN 5 rolls west as seen from the NY 352 overpass. The area here, Big Flats, is well named. That's NY 17 in the background. It's a four lane road that runs the length of the Tier, making a train chase a really doable proposition.

Title:  Coal and yellowjackets
Description:  A four unit set of NYSW 45s has an eastbound PLMT, symbolled RC 1, for ReCrew, a dogcatch crew that relieved the outlawed crew from Buffalo, rolling through Waverly past the classic buildings that serve as a backdrop here. The semaphore has dropped to stop now that the train is several hundred feet past the signal.

East side of town
Title:  East side of town
Description:  The east side of Waverly has some notable features. Note how wide the tracks are here. There was a center siding here during Erie and EL days, which was removed by Conrail, but the tracks were never straightened. At left is a pet food plant, which would remain a Conrail customer for several more years. We see PLMT, a coal train for Mt Tom Mass, rolling past with four yellowjackets.
