On the bridge |
| Description: |
Shots of the north side of the Chenango River bridge are not often seen, since the sun lights that side only late in the day for a few months in the summer. I was there on one of those occasions, catching SLN 3 as it backed its 50 Sea Land platforms and 23 freight off the Tier at QD. |

Backing down |
| Description: |
SLN 3 backs off the Tier at QD as a local fan catches the action. The Erie station stood where the empty space is between the Southern Tier and the ex DLW, whose station is now privately owned, and can be seen to the right of the train, under the Chenango St bridge. |

By the office |
| Description: |
Power off SLN 3 sits outside the engine house in Binghamton waiting for the next eastbound. The F 45 is still to be renumbered 3636, and the two SD's trailing it are still to be given the yellow jacket scheme. They'll eventually wind up back on the BN, only this time under MRL ownership. There's one peeking out of the house too. |

Backing in |
| Description: |
At this time, Conrail would not let NYSW change crews out on the main for the D&H to take the train west. This was not without some justification, as the new crew could be anywhere from ten minutes to ten hours from getting on the train. As a result, NYSW had to back its train up into Bevier St, or onto their Utica Branch for the crew change. SLN 5 is doing just that at QD with three ex BN SD 45s. There more than enough room for the 55 Sea Land stacks and 18 freight. Lead unit 6366 doesn't seem to be sure what railroad it wants to run for. |

What a difference a few minutes make |
| Description: |
I had just shot TV 301 here 20 minutes earlier in good sun. Now SLN 5 shows up, and its cloud city. Such is the fickle weather of the Southern Tier. Three SD 45s do the job today, a familiar sight to anyone who watched the EL run here. It's a good bet at least one of these units was here under BN ownership. |

Into the yard |
| Description: |
NYSW in the 1980s acquired the Rahway Valley and former B&O line to Staten Island. Base for these operations was the small B&O facility in Cranford, adjacent to the ex CNJ, over whom B&O had trackage rights. NYSW 120 has just returned from working the RV, and has crossed over the CNJ-now NJ Transit-main at Excee tower, and will be taking the switch into the yard. This was a much busier place in CNJ days, as evidenced by the signal bridge in the distance. It was then four tracks, and a place where a train could cross over all of them. B&O and Reading passenger trains passed here, as did their freights. |

Excee Tower |
| Description: |
Excee tower, named for its telegraph call sign, XC, controlled the junction of the CNJ and Rahway Valley, as well as access to the small B&O yard south of the main, which also was the access to the B&Os Staten Island Rapid Transit, though most freight service was to the Port Ivory area, a freight only part of the SIRT. NYSW 120 has just come off the RV and is crossing over to reach the yard, where it will tie up. |

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. |

Blocking it up |
| Description: |
NYSW 3620 has had a small derailment here on the siding at Wyckoff. The weight of the SD 45 was a little too much for the rails and ties, and the rails spread ever so slightly. A crewman puts wood under the wheels to get them back where they belong. |

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. |

New order |
| Description: |
In June of 1988, Guilford cast the D&H off into bankruptcy. The NYSW was named designated operator, and immediately took over running the railroad. They received help from CSX and NS, with CSX financing a total of 20 new B40-8s, as well as letting power run through to Jersey on stack trains. Heres SLN 4 rolling east at BD behind a pair of CSX units and an NYSW SD 45 as the late day sun reflects off the long line of containers. |

But it was hard to get. The location is just west of Deposit on the ex Erie Delaware Division. The problem was, you had to stand on the overpass, which was part of NY 17, a four lane expressway. Not a good idea. The troopers would tell you that, too. We see SLN 4 behind a mix of NS and CSX power. |

| Title: |
East with a little help |
| Description: |
A pair of NYSW units have this NY 10 rolling past the shop, along with a pair of CSX units to get the train over the road. This was typical at the time, and some really interesting power mixes could be seen most days. The light was getting pretty bad-the legendary Binghamton gloom was yielding to night-but I'd alway take the shot. |

Mixed power to go east |
| Description: |
When NYSW took over as designated operator for the D&H, CSX and NS assisted by providing power. This SLN 4 is going to back out onto the Tier and go east behind a mix of support power, for now taking in the glow of the late afternoon sun as it awaits a new crew at Bevier St. Summer wild flowers add some color to the scene. |

Took a dump truck |
| Description: |
NYSW 4006 was leading an excursion during the recent NRHS convention in Jersey when it hit a dump truck at a crossing on the ex L&HR. It made for a memorable trip, though for the wrong reasons. They moved the unit to Binghamton, and eventually back to GE for repairs. Here it is sitting outside the Binghamton shop. |

Any unit will do |
| Description: |
CSX and NS provided assistance-power-to the NYSW to help out with the directed service operation of the D&H. The power worked on any component, and often crossed corporate lines. Here we have a CSX unit working BH 1, pulling what looks like the cars off an RPPY through BD. |

Pulling them out |
| Description: |
NYSW locals would often pull out onto the Southern Tier line for headroom, or to back a cut of cars into their yard. Today a CSX unit on BH 1 is doing the latter with a cut from the D&H. |

Power at the house |
| Description: |
Ex LIRR, now NYSW C 420 2010 sits at the enginehouse with a colleague of much greater seniority. The 2010 was still active; 238 was on death row. |

Working that local traffic |
| Description: |
NYSW 2012 works at Binghamton, getting its train together for a trip up the Utica side, which was the busier line in those days. The ex Auto Train car to the left of the diesel served as the NYSW yard office. |

Yard work |
| Description: |
The NYSW seemed to spend a lot of time working the Binghamton yard, despite running what seemed like very few trains-though they did work the Utica side almost daily then. Here one of the home road units gets some help from a D&H unit as it works at QD. |

D&H units to Jersey |
| Description: |
An NYSW B 40 leads a pair of D&H units on SLN 4 as it heads for Little Ferry. Over the next ten years, this would be a common sight, with CP and SOO power getting into the act after CP took over the D&H a couple of years later. |
