OIBU down the Delaware
Title:  OIBU down the Delaware
Description:  OIBU rolls 45 cars on the former Erie Delaware division at Hankins. In another 25 years, NS will paint an ES44AC just like this C30-7A. So is this a "pre heritage" unit??

Goudy coal
Title:  Goudy coal
Description:  A UNG coal train for NYSEGs Goudy Generating station in Johnson City rolls through Owego behind a pair of GEs. Its rare these days to see coal(or much else) behind anything but 6 axle power, but in those days, Conrail and the D&H had no problem sending out a 10,000 ton coal train with 4 axle units, as this train shows. The Tioga Central yard is seen to the right of the lead unit, one of their Alcos peeking out at far right.

Cant get this now
Title:  Cant get this now
Description:  For one thing, Conrail, which replaced the Erie Lackawanna here, is itself now a long ago memory. The trees that are saplings in this photo, are now grown up, blocking the view of the half dozen or so trains that now run here each week. OIBU passes with 39 cars, and will be in Binghamton in about 30 minutes.
