Morning regular
Title:  Morning regular
Description:  One of the usual features of the mornings activity at East Binghamton was the arrival of 41T, which came through the yard and onto NS Southern Tier Line, typically late morning/mid day. This mornings effort is led by a full body SD 50. Older power was not unusual, and we saw a fairly steady stream of wide cab SD 40s and cowl units.

Starting out
Title:  Starting out
Description:  31T made its crew change at East Binghamton, and has now crossed the Susquehanna and is on the NS Tier. We see it at Liberty St at the start of the trip to Buffalo. The two tracks in the foreground, now the Johnson runner and the stub of track 4, were once the DLW east and westbound main tracks. This is also the approximate location of Liberty St tower. A track from the DLW station, out of view to the left, to the Syracuse and Utica Branches, crossed the Erie here.

View from below
Title:  View from below
Description:  Just south of Tunkhannock Creek is a pull off along US 11, which allows a stunning view of the bridge. I caught 30T rolling south here. The viaduct has walls on the sides, which partly obscure the view of the train, but its still an impressive sight.

Favorite spot
Title:  Favorite spot
Description:  Partly because its easy to get to, parwly because the backdrop of the buildings is like something youd find on a model layout. The only thing missing is a svation, which was over my left shoulder, and wiped out by a derailment here in 1967.

Just lucky
Title:  Just lucky
Description:  I was poking around looking for a place to shoot TRE trains, and saw this UP train on the ex MP in Grand Prairie. It appeared to be tied up, and was an easy shot from the next grade crossing. It's strange seeing a CN unit in Texas. I still haven't gotten used to the idea of them running on the IC in Mississippi and Louisiana.
