Never know what youll find
Title:  Never know what youll find
Description:  The power at Binghamton could be surprising, even in the post mega merger era. The BNSF unit came in on H 88, and was a regular visitor for several weeks. The ex P&W unit was leased to the NYSW before being sold. There might even be some NS power around. An NYSW unit is also in the act, hiding down by their shop.

H 01 and visitors
Title:  H 01 and visitors
Description:  The power for H 01-an NS C40-8W, as was common for them-mingles with the BNSF unit off H 88 and a leased ex P&W GE being used by NYSW. Quite a mix!!

Interesting stuff
Title:  Interesting stuff
Description:  An overview of QD yard shows a few interesting items. In the foreground is a set of power that came off a Goudy coal train. A trio of UP units, no stranger to coal service out west, are not that common here. Behind them is an NS SD40-2, one of the early ones that had been an NW unit originally. In the background, thats not a P&W unit. NYSW acquired some ex P&W units as part of their lease fleet. Most of them wound up working on the NYSW for a time, including this one, presently dozing away the afternoon. The NYSW proper also is showing the flag, as a yellowjacket from BH 2 comes around the corner from Bevier St, seen under the bridge in the distance.
