Description:  BUME rolls north across the Harpursville bridge over Wylie Creek, seen from the north(geographically) side of the bridge. This is not the usual angle, which is from NY 7. This view is lit only in the long days of summer. I took advantage of the late afternoon sun to catch two B40s and an Alco from the NY 235 shoulder.

New order
Title:  New order
Description:  As CP took over operation of the D&H, it moved in its own power and operating people, but time was needed for the transition, so NYSW power was still common on many trains, now mixed with CP units. This MEBU is rolling under the NY 427 overpass at Chemung behind two of each to power its 90 cars.

Bright power
Title:  Bright power

Whod have guessed??
Title:  Whod have guessed??
Description:  Another one of those "if I had said ten years ago..." shots. Who would have figured NYSW running new, high horsepower diesels, and in combination with CP power, yet?? Here it is on a 74 car MEBU rolling west at Hiawatha Rd. The power combinations would get even stranger by the end of the year.

Short time
Title:  Short time
Description:  Not only is the crew on short time-theyll be in Binghamton in less than 30 minutes with this 73 car BUME, but so is the location. The shrubs and trees planted here near Kinney Rd will grow, and in a few years, this shot will not be possible.
