I like this shot
Title:  I like this shot
Description:  But it was hard to get. The location is just west of Deposit on the ex Erie Delaware Division. The problem was, you had to stand on the overpass, which was part of NY 17, a four lane expressway. Not a good idea. The troopers would tell you that, too. We see SLN 4 behind a mix of NS and CSX power.

High above
Title:  High above
Description:  SLN 4 rolls high above Lanesboro as it heads for Jersey behind an interesting mix of NS and CSX power. Both roads had contributed power to assist NYSW with their directed service operation of the D&H, and anything could show up.

BUME arriving
Title:  BUME arriving
Description:  Most of the time, BUAB would take the Buffalo Runner and head up to Bevier St and recrew, but sometimes if there was no room, or the power was to be changed, it would run into East Binghamton. Here we see it arriving behind NYSW 3638. This is something of a treat, as this unit was more of a hangar queen, and on the road only sporadically, thus seeing it in service was something of a novelty.
