Competition
Title:  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
Title:  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.

Second section

SESL4B
Title:  SESL4B
Description:  Selkirk-St Louis SESL4B, a second daily schedule between those two end points, pulls toward the west end of Dewitt, where it will enter the Chicago Line and head west behind a pair of GEs, which should be up to the task of getting the 80 cars over the road.
