Guilford trio
Title:  Guilford trio
Description:  BUME behind three Guilford painted units rolls along the rock wall next to NY 17 just east of Corning with 48 cars. This was a challenging shot for an eastbound, as you had to stand on the shoulder of westbound NY 17, an expressway. Timing had to be good, as you could not stop here long. I got it right this sunny morning, catching three Guilford units, one each for the component roads, though the leader and trailing units had been "transferred" away from the D&H.

Jet powered
Title:  Jet powered
Description:  Guilford established a pair of trains, JET 1 and JET 2 to make some kind of effort to hasten freight velocity to New England. In an optimistic approach by the marketing types, these were called JET 1 westbound, and JET 2 eastbound. Here we see JET 1 coming through Bevier St with 102 cars. It will take the Buffalo Runner to QD, where a new crew will get on for the trip to Buffalo, avoiding the yard and its interinable terminal delay.

Turning the power
Title:  Turning the power
Description:  Sometimes the D&H would need to turn an engine of set of power. There was no working turntable at East Binghamton-the DLWs table had been out of service for years, and it would be after CP took over that a new one would be built-so it would have to be wyed via BD. This set is rolling up to Bevier St, where it will change direction, then head down the Buffalo Runner to QD, then back onto the Tier to head back through town into the yard.

Penn Division
Title:  Penn Division
Description:  In an ironic twist of fate, PYRP, once the WR 7, seen at the top of the photo, would have crossed this plate girder bridge over NY 7 on its way north. The D&H last used this bridge several years prior during the detours while Belden Tunnel was rebuilt, and it has sat unused since then. It would not be removed for another couple of years, when NY State rebuilt the NY 7 bridge over Wylie Creek, which PYRP is crossing on the well known Harpursville Bridge.

Rolling in the sun
Title:  Rolling in the sun
Description:  For a late afternoon northbound, there were not too many decently lit shots going north. One that worked was this view at Afton, where there was enough angle to shoot from the shoulder of NY 7. We see a PLMT rolling toward the signal at GR behind a mix of power.
