Only trains past the terminal
Title:  Only trains past the terminal
Description:  While poking around the grounds of the once grand Buffalo Central Terminal, I caught this westbound approaching CP 437, whose signals can be seen at right. The trailing unit is one of the three SD 60 demonstrators that Conrail acquired.

Unlikely meet
Title:  Unlikely meet
Description:  Anywhere else, this would be impossible. In Binghamton, its a daily event. OIBU passes a C 430 as it slows to work the yard here. Only 16 C 430s were built. At one point, NYSW had five of them.

GP 38 and a blade
Title:  GP 38 and a blade
