H88
Title:  H88
Description:  Gang Mills based local H88 passes through Johnson City, showing the changes in the industrial landscape. The area behind the train was once an Endicott Johnson plant. It made, among other things, jump boots for the Army. The plant has been razed, and the site will soon be occupied by a Wal Mart. View is from the Lester Av overpass.

Western power on locals

Borrowed
Title:  Borrowed
Description:  H 88 for a while ran with a variety of western power. Sometimes it was BNSF, mostly with NS power, though there was a pair of GEs that ran for several weeks; and sometimes UP power would mix in. This set ran for several weeks in late 2005. Wonder if UP missed them??

Honestly, tell us how you really feel
Title:  Honestly, tell us how you really feel
Description:  With diesels going all over nowadays, its hard to know where the author of this assessment entered his opinion on the side of this unit. My guess is someone at UP was not feeling a lot of self esteem about his company.
