Ex LIRR, now NYSW C 420 2010 sits at the enginehouse with a colleague of much greater seniority. The 2010 was still active; 238 was on death row. |

Working the mill |
Description: |
UT 1 works the Chenango Valley Pet Food mill, and will swap cars here with BH 1, up from Binghamton. Looking at this line now(2015) its hard to believe there was once enough traffic here in the post EL era to run two jobs. |

Alco headed north |
Description: |
C 420 2010 is working BH 1, heading north past the Agway mill as it makes for the Utica side. At the time, that was where the business was, and got a train almost daily. The Syracuse side got a train twice a week. |

Odd couple |
Description: |
It was unusual to see these two units together, especially since 120 spent most of its time in Jersey. I caught them together at the Binghamton shop. An RS 3 and SD 45 are peeking out from behind these two. The variety then was amazing. |

Over the bridge |
Description: |
BH 1 behind C 420 2010 rolls across the Chenango River as it makes its way north, today taking a trip up the Syracuse side, a lucky catch, since they went up there usually two days/week. At the time, the Utica Branch was a daily event, and much easier to find a train there. |

Alcos on the Delaware Division |
Description: |
SU 100 rolls patt the industrial park in Kirkwood as it heads down the Delaware Division for Jersey. NYSW would run trains with solid Alco!consists, though now that there were a lot of stack trains, SU 99 and SU 100 were becoming uncommon, so spectacles such as this were hard to find. Check out the CP box cars in the script lettering. |

Big deal |
Description: |
There was a time when a pair of Alcos such as this was not totally unusual, though there with only 16 C430s built, they did not widely mix. By 1990, ANY Alco was a notable sighting. Here we have two of the more unusual models, a C 400, and a high hood, steam generator equipped C 420, basking in the sun at East Binghamton. |

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. |
