Below the snow line |
| Description: |
D 22 rolls 19 cars north behind an SD40/GP 9 combination. Usually the consist was GP 9s or 38s. The other GP 9 must hate had a problem, since the SDs were rare on this job. Its late March, but theres still snow on the ground here. Theres a lot more at the top of Belden Hill, even as spring grudginly takes hold of upstate. |

Big power for a turn |
| Description: |
Trains 512 and 513 were established as Taylor Turns to run traffic between the two yards, and presumably to work any industry along the way, which by this time was precious little. We see a pair of SOO units-the trailing 6607 was originally SOO-approaching East Binghamton. |
