Penn Division
Title:  Penn Division
Description:  In an ironic twist of fate, PYRP, once the WR 7, seen at the top of the photo, would have crossed this plate girder bridge over NY 7 on its way north. The D&H last used this bridge several years prior during the detours while Belden Tunnel was rebuilt, and it has sat unused since then. It would not be removed for another couple of years, when NY State rebuilt the NY 7 bridge over Wylie Creek, which PYRP is crossing on the well known Harpursville Bridge.

SU 2
Title:  SU 2

Digging in
Title:  Digging in
Description:  BH 1 rolls north toward Phelps St on the NYSWs former DLW line as daylight fades. The grade is not as heavy as on the D&H a little farther up the hill, but it still gives trains a workout here, as the smoke from both units shows.
