Along the river
Title:  Along the river
Description:  The ex DLW line now operated by CP runs close to the Susquehanna through parts of Conklin. One good spot is where it crosses under the bridge from Kirkwood at the south end of Broome Corporate Park, where this photo was taken. In the winter it gives a good shot of a train here, in this case, 558 with a pair of SDs and 38 cars.

STLH grab
Title:  STLH grab
Description:  The light was wrong at the NY 17C overpass, but I wanted to get the shot. I ran down to the soccer field along Dickson St, getting this view of a St Lawrence & Hudson painted unit leading 166 toward Page Av, and ultimately East Binghamton.

Old sign
Title:  Old sign
Description:  Train 166 rolls south near Hallstead on the ex DLW. Note the yellow sign pointing off to the left. The D&H used these to indicate an upcoming grade crossing or other obstruction, the purpose being to warn plow operators to raise the plow blade to avoid damage to the plow(and a possible derailment) or to track structures. These are all over the D&H proper, and now on the ex DLW too, though this one has probably been there 20 years by now.
