Alco yard engine |
| Description: |
D&H 5017 pulls a cut north as it prepares to switch the train at East Binghamton. This unit would last into the CP era, working mostly as a yard engine, but occasionally getting out on the road when NYSW operated the D&H from 1988-1990. |

Reading lives |
| Description: |
This GP 39-2 was conveyed from the Reading at Conrail startup a dozen years earlier. Looks like its not quite ready to give up on the old road. This unit, and 7410, would have Reading markings on them til retirement. |

Still Alco |
| Description: |
Despite having acquired a fleet of GEs, and later a number of EMDs, the D&H could still put together an impressive Alco consist, such as this one at East Binghamton. |

Pushing hard |

Stone bridge |

Pushing it in |

PYRPs helpers push the train right into the tunnel before cutting off. The signal guards the tunnel entrance, which has a door on it to keep out the elements during bad weather. It helps prevent icing in the tunnel. |

Still at it |
| Description: |
D&H 5017 shows its resilience, working in pusher service on PYRP at the north end of Dyes Siding at the Moottown Road crossing. The RS 36 would outlast the siding, which would be removed in a couple of years, ending its days in yard service under CP. |

Classics |
| Description: |
There are several features in this shot that are now classics. The "Susquehanna Division" sign, now long gone, recalls the EL, as does the signal, a reminder of the time when this was DLWs main track past the yard, not a running track as it is now. Of course, the RS 36 switching in the D&H lightning stripe scheme is one of the best paint jobs in America-on an Alco. |

Yard job with an unusual switch |
| Description: |
The NY State Operation Lifesaver car was at Binghaston being switched by an RS 36. Dont recall what the event was, probably training for presenters. The car was a classroom on wheels and toured all over the state. Note the old DLW roundhouse and turntable to tie left of the car. When CP took over, they would remove the table and fill the pit, then build a new turntable. |

Once in a while one of the remaining RS 36's would get out of the yard, where they spent most of their time by this point. Today 5017 was the lucky one to get out on the road with a local, and is now returning to East Binghamton. |

Working the siding |
| Description: |
NYSW would use the siding just south of Chenango Forks as a relay point for cars going up the Syracuse Branch, and sometimes for car storage. They often had a string of stored hoppers there. D&H 5017 has the honor of working BH 1 today, which is moving cars in and out of the siding. It has pulled up to the switch for the Syracuse Branch, which is in the foreground. Hes on the Utica Branch, which saw service almost daily at that time. |

Local with a mix |
| Description: |
SU 2 was the local that worked the Binghamton area and north to Oneonta. Typical power was a pair of units. In CP days, this would be handled by a mix of GP9 rebuilds and GP 38s, with an occasional ex Guilford GP 40 thrown in. During the NYSW era, anything they had could show up, as in this case, a GP 39 and RS 36 holding down the job at Bevier St |

Classic |
| Description: |
During the first few years of CP rule, C&H Alcos hung on, sometimes even on road trains. By and large, they had yard assignments, such a 5017 here smoking it up as it shoves 556s train onto one of the runners. |

Strange bedfellows |
| Description: |
A match up no one ever expected to see, D&H 5017 and CR 6615 together entering the CP yard at Binghamton. The reason for the strange pair is an emergency repair to one of the CR units traction motors at the CP shop. D&H 5017 was one of the last D&H Alcos to be retired. |

Last of the breed |

D&H 5017, the last of the RS 36s, works the south end of East Binghamton. This unit would hang on a couple more years before finally being retired. It was the last D&H Alco in service. |
