Shot of a pole
Title:  Shot of a pole
Description:  With 166 behind it. Must have been hustling for the grab shot. We see 166 passing Liberty St on the Southern Tier Line as it approaches BD to get into East Binghamton. It was hard to resist the shot of three CP units in three schemes, with a SOO unit in the mix as well. It was often said the D&H had as many paint schemes as they had diesels. CP gave them a good run for their money on that score.
