Competition |
| Description: |
As a former truck driver, I could not resist this shot. OIBU makes its way along Court St, passing BD on its way into town. Look at that classic Freightliner. |

Downtown |
| Description: |
The Freightliner and OIBU have gone their separate ways, with the train showing up at the yard as predicted, though it seems to have startled the birds that make a living off the grain shaken from the cars going to Agway. It strikes a classic Binghamton pose as it works the yard. |

Nowhere else but... |
| Description: |
The station and classic Kilmer Building in the background make it obvious this could only be Binghamton. An MOW train behind an SD 50 rolls past the classic DLW station on what was once the westbound main. Phoebe, this aint!! |

Busy place |
| Description: |
Despite not being nearly the busy place it was during EL years, there were times in the late 80s and early 90s when there could be quite a bit of action. Today we have some of it as a BUAB with NYSW and D&H power holds track 2, waiting to crossover and take the Buffalo Runner at QD, while a ballast train heads for tie up on the DLW main. |

Bet he makes the light |
| Description: |
The ex LV line in Ithaca has a stretch of street side running through town. As in most places where this occurs, the traffic lights are set so that when crossing protection is activated, they set up to prevent vehicles from turning onto or crossing the tracks. The trains, however, make all the lights, no matter what color. |

Got it together |
| Description: |
WACG01, a Gang Mills based crew that handled the coal from there to Ithaca, has combined with a train that was left in Ithaca yard by a previous crew. The whole train, now with four units, will head up through town to the NYSEG Milliken Station north of Ithaca. Note the hoppers and conveyor at far left. The other coal customer on this line was Cornell University, high above Cayuga's waters. Conrail would spot loaded hoppers here, which would be emptied into a pit, with the conveyor carrying the coal up to be loaded into trucks for the ride up the hill to the college. There were 17 cars spotted here this day. |

GE in the snow |
| Description: |
CR 6007 in the snow, and possibly one of the dirtiest slides I have. This is UNL15B arriving at Sayre after a run down the Ithaca Branch with an empty coal train. Trailing unit 6059 will lead onto the Southern Tier Line and west from Waverly. |
