Plenty of power |
| Description: |
Train 557 gets underway from East Binghamton with more than enough power to get its 27 COFC and 6 freight to Buffalo. Note the bridge pier being poured at the far right. The new Conklin Av overpass is being built to replace the ancient steel bridge the train is passing under. The new overpass will have a much more gentle S curve, to the relief of many motorists. This location is known locally as Holmes Crossing. |

Rolling south on a cold day |
| Description: |
164 rolls 88 platforms past the signals at GR, now CPF 587, and will meet 413 in a moment. Looks like the conditions were pretty rough farther north, judging by the snow packed on the lead unit-just another winter day in upstate NY. |

Finally out of the deep snow |
| Description: |
A 164 that has seen some heavy snow action on the way south gets down far enough that there is some grass showing through the white stuff. But, thats February in upstate NY. |
