CP on CN
Title:  CP on CN
Description:  CP had trackage rights on CN in the Hamilton area. One of those trains, this one with 60 cars of oil, is heading for Hamilton behind a really clean SD 40, though Id have gladly traded for one of the Alco behind.

Alcos north
Title:  Alcos north
Description:  CP was still actively using their Alco/MLW fleet at this time, mostly on the old D&H, though occasionally, one would get through on the Tier. Train 553 heads for St Luc, just out of Binghamton with a pair of them, one six, one four axle, rolling through the south end of Bevier St with 33 cars.

Always good to see an Alco
Title:  Always good to see an Alco
Description:  Even if its trailing. A C424 is in second place today, but will be leading tomorrows 557 west. It is about to pass under NY 17C in west Endicott. C424's were not uncommon on the 557/558 trains, but mostly it got an SD40/GP9 combination. Six axle MLW's were more commonly seen on the D&H going north, though they did appear on the Tier from time to time.

558 past the detector
Title:  558 past the detector
Description:  Train 558 passes the site of the hot box detector on its last lap into Binghamton. The EL had a hot box detector here on track 1; the cabin in the foreground housed the equipment. When it had a hit, it would set the next westbound automatic signal yellow, and the one after that red.
