The line up at the East Binghamton shop is almost all Alco today. There are four C 424's, and RS 36 and RS 3M. What's that GP 38 doing there?? Must be lost. |

Pair of 22s |
| Description: |
In this case, an SD 45 and an RS 36. The SD 45 was no big deal, but the Alco was one of a declining fleet. Good to see it still in service. |

Power to head south |
| Description: |
RPPY and PYRP ran with a mix of CSX and NS power south of Binghamton, though it was usually one or the other, and rarely mixed. This time its NS power, a representative example seen here at the fuel rack. Where else but Binghamton could you find EMD, GE, and Alco all coupled to each other?? |

Now were working |
| Description: |
Train 310 smokes hard as it works to overcome gravity as it heads north at Phelps St. The leader is one of the EMD test beds built in the mid 60's to evaluate the 645 engine, hence the flared radiators. |

| Description: |
Train 310 carried a surprise in the power consist this morning, D&H 5022. Always good to see an Alco on the road. It's working just as hard as the rest of the power in this three builder lash up. |

Old power rules |
| Description: |
One of the remaining D&H RS 36s rolls a 556 south across the diamond at BD as it heads into East Binghamton. The RS 36s did not see the road often at this point, and it would have been a very unlikely leader, though CP was not shy about running Alcos in regular service. My guess is the crew on this train came down with the PLM unit leading, and was on short time. If there was no room at the inn, the East Binghamton yardmaster likely had him tie up at Bevier St and taxied the crew to the yard. Then 5022 was sent over to get the train once there was space. |
