Night at the Erie freight house
Title:  Night at the Erie freight house
Description:  CR 6611, a C32-8 unique to Conrail, sits outside the office in the old Erie freight house as it gets its switching orders. C 32-8s were uncommon here, as they were based out of Selkirk, and typically were found on the Boston Line over the Berkshires.

Night BUOI
Title:  Night BUOI
Description:  BUOI is stopped at the office in Binghamton, adjacent to the old Erie freight house. I took the opportunity to get a shot of a rare unit on the Tier, C32-8 6611. These units were almost exclusive to the River and Boston Lines, as they were based out of Selkirk. This one got to Oak Island and strayed.
