Whose is this??
Title:  Whose is this??
Description:  D&H 75 comes into the East Binghamton yard. Not sure if it is SU 2, or perhaps NYSW BH 1, since power worked on either road at the time, though the gas cars look like this is the turn to Tioga Central in Owego. Good to see an Alco on the road in any case.
