252 with unusual power
Title:  252 with unusual power
Description:  252 rolls south over the Harpursville bridge behind a trio of 40's. The two trailing units are notable. The middle unit is an ex SOU unit that was converted to a B unit by CP; they changed it by removing the seats and control stand, and boarding up the windows-yes, boarding up: they used plywood. The trailing unit is ex Greater Winnipeg Water District, and a trade from CN-note the road number that falls into CN's SD40 series.

Everything but the kitchen sink
Title:  Everything but the kitchen sink
Description:  The 1990s and into the new millenium was+an interesting time for motive power on the CP. They acquired a lot of second hand power and rebuilt some units. This 271 at Belden tunnel is a case in point. The leader?? Used. CP never had any SD45s. The secondunit is a rebuilt GP 9, the third unit is an ex MP SD40-2 that was originally one of their general service units and di not have dynamic brakes. CP added them while whey were on lease from GATX, then bought them. The white SD40-2 is ex KCS. Quite a mix

Tradition
Title:  Tradition
Description:  For many years, D&H and B&M ran their power through onto the other road, aod it was not uncommon to see D&H power in Deerfield, or B&M units in Oneonta or Binghamton, years before both roads came under the Guilford umbrella. That practice remains in 2005, even if the colors have changed some. Portland-Mohawk train POMO is led by a set of CP and lease power on the B&M at Pownal.

Arriving from Jersey
Title:  Arriving from Jersey
Description:  Train 255, the Saturday Sea Land train originating at Little Ferry as SLN 5 on the NYSW, rolls through BD as it approaches the NYSW office for a crew change as the faithful observe from trackside. This was a pretty reliable late morniing arrival at Binghamton, and I will spend several hours following this train west. By this time, CP power running through to Jersey was pretty common. Today's power set is an interesting mix of hand me downs. The leader is an ex GATX leaser that came from MP originally; the second unit is an ex Greater Winnipeg Water District unit; the SOO unit is original to the road, the only such on today's train; and the trailing unit is an ex KCS unit. We got lucky today, as two of the used units have been repainted, making for a much more attractive train. The Dicks Sporting Goods store is the original one in the chain and is still open there.

Lumber Rd
Title:  Lumber Rd
Description:  One of the best locations you cant shoot from anymore is the Lumber Rd overpass in Gang Mills. It was at the east throat of the yard, and offered a great view of westbounds most of the day. You could also watch some of the yard action, and see the engine house. When NY rebuilt US 15/NY 417-the highway to the left-the bridge was removed, making shots like this impossible. The bare spot on the hillside in the distance is where the NY 17 bypass is being built. It will take through traffic off Dennison Highway for the short stretch it still ran downtown in Corning, part of the project that will enable NY 17 to become I 86. It will open in October 1995, to everyones relief-especially the fans, since it will allow the chase to continue with a hope of catching a train before reaching Addison.

Interesting power
Title:  Interesting power
Description:  SD40 types?? Really?? This train has two that are interesting to CP fans. The middle unit is the obvious one, an SD40-2F "red barn". The lead unit is one of the six acquired from the KCS, repainted and renumbered in the 5400s. The trailing unit?? Just run of the mill 40-2. The train is coming off the Susquehanna River bridge and about to cross under Conklin Av and enter East Binghamton yard.
