Bigfoot and the Easter bunny |
| Description: |
Binghamton for a long time had a reputation of being the place where everything eventually turned up. This was true in the NYSW era as much as it had been in the past. A lot of odd short line power showed up, since the D&H shop had capability smaller places did not, and Im qure Walter Rich saw it as a revenue opportunity. The result was that a lot of things that "could never happen," happened here. We see a case in point: an NYSW C420 coupled to a Rahway Valley 70 tonner, though at this stage, it was not so far fetched, since both roads were under the Delaware-Otsego umbrella. Still, it was not likely to happen-but there it is, like seeing the Easter bunny and bigfoot at the same time. |

Whod believe it?? |
| Description: |
Power from NYSW, NS, CSX, and even New Jersey short line Rahway Valley is at the East Binghamton engine house. Ten years earlier, if you told someone you would see this set up, theyd be checking your meds. |

Still taking on boarders |
| Description: |
In the early days of CP operation, there was still outside work. The NYSW Alco was not unusual, but the Rahway Valley GE was a stranger in a strange land. |
