Through the snow
Title:  Through the snow
Description:  BUEB rolls 78 cars east toward Binghamton in the snowy fields of western NY, seen from a local road bridge near Dalton. The power was common in those days. The SD26 is a recent acquisiton of Guilford, and will ultimately be painted Springfield Terminal. As if that wasn't enough heritage, the third unit is an ex Rock Island U25B.

Title:  Not exactly dashing through the snow
Description:  But making decent enough time. A telephoto view of BUEB rolling east at Dalton behind the kind of power mix only Guilford could concoct. At least the B&M unit is leading.
