Local power |
| Description: |
Locals on the Tier for quite a few years got GP38s, though at times B23s could also be found. This local at Campbell Hall on the ex Erie Graham Line is truc to form, assigned 8125, seen at the old Campbell Hall station, the strip of blacktop that existed prior to the fancy station they have now. Note the old Erie camp car to the left of the diesel. |

DLW side |
| Description: |
WABH 11, the local that works the Binghamton area, is on the ex Lackawanna side today, and will head down the old DLW on the Vestal Spur to National Pipe and Plastic, the small remnant of the line west of Binghamton. The area Im standing in once serviced mail and express cars. The GP 38-2 was typical power for this job, though sometimes it got a B 23-7. By the early 90s, GP 40-2s were common. NS is presently(2015) using a pair of ex CR SD 40-2s. |

Out in the high grass |
| Description: |
Like many rail facilities that became underused, the ex DLW YO yard became overgrown. The were only a couple of tracks left which served the Agway feed mill, seen at right. WABH 11 had the task of servicing the customer, which we see here. The boxcars were filled with grain, also a relic of the past. It would continue a few more years, and sometimes some real classics would show up. On at least one occasion I saw Erie cars here. |
