B Boats galore |
| Description: |
Upstate NY was overrun with GEs, largely because Selkirk was the maintenance base for many of them, among them the 50 C30-7As, a unit unique to Conrail. There were also hordes of B 23-7s, which mostly worked in yard and local assignments. One of those was Fulton based local WAFU 12, seen here arriving at Dewitt with 78 cars behind its four GEs. |

| Description: |
The southbound trip did a runby at New Baltimore, the only one on the trip. The weather was dismal, and the timing was also an issue, so this was the only one. It was well attended. |

Track geometry train |
| Description: |
Conrail had a track geometry train that took all kinds of engineering measurments on the track structure. It was permanently assgined to B23-7 1933, which was specially outfitted to work with the equipment in the cars. We see it on the ex LV at Sayre, laying over for a trip down the Lehigh Line the next day. |

Goudy coal |
| Description: |
A UNG coal train for NYSEGs Goudy Generating station in Johnson City rolls through Owego behind a pair of GEs. Its rare these days to see coal(or much else) behind anything but 6 axle power, but in those days, Conrail and the D&H had no problem sending out a 10,000 ton coal train with 4 axle units, as this train shows. The Tioga Central yard is seen to the right of the lead unit, one of their Alcos peeking out at far right. |

Coal on the River Line |
| Description: |
The River Line, the ex NYC West Shore, was known during Conrail years as a freight and intermodal conduit. There was some coal traffic on the line, for an Orange-Rockland power plant at Roseton. One of those trains, UAM 4, is rolling though North Bergen behind a set of power only CR would put on a coal train. |

GEs for the localMo |
| Description: |
st of the time in this period, the power for WABH 11 was a GP 38. Occasionally, a B23-7 would get the task, as on this day. We see it working in front of the classic buildings as it takes the switch for the Buffalo Runner at QD. It's headed up to switch Agway. |

Local working through the yard |
| Description: |
A local with a B23-7 pulls its train into Allentown. I always liked this view of the yard. It looks like a model railroad, with all the different cars from different roads. The variety could sometimes be stunning. In this view, there are CR hoppers on the far track, some still in their PC and EL markings, as well as PC gons on the local. Note the Clinchfield car on the near track, and flatcars with tanks behind the train. |

After a day of chasing NW 611 on a trip from Buffalo to Conneaut OH, we called it a day and headed home. Our last shot of the day was this TV 79, which had left North Bergen NJ that morning, now rolling though Erie on its mad dash to an ATSF connection in Chicago with 95 cars of TOFC. Halfway there!! |

At the time, there were still a few customers in Johnson City, as well as the NYSEG Goudy Station, and National Pipe & Plastic in Vestal. There is now(2015) nothing left on that line, and NS is looking to abandon it. Thats St Michaels Orthodox Church on the right with the gold dome. |

Putting it away |
| Description: |
WABH 11 puts its train away, spotting cars to be picked up by the road trains to be taken to far away places. Note the signal mast: it is now bereft of signals. This mast once carried the distant signal for CP Johnson(formerly West BD), where the old DLW tied into the Tier, an arrangement completed by the Erie and Lackawanna in 1959. Now there is one long block between BD and Johnson. In a few more years, the mast itself will come down, and one of the more recognizable parts of the EL in Binghamton will be gone. The Erie freight house, at right, will last til 1999 before it, too, becomes a memory. |

Eastbound waiting |
| Description: |
I caught this eastbound sitting at CP 433, waiting for traffic. In short order a pair of trains would overtake it. Even on a Sunday morning, Buffalo was busy. |

Working Goudy |
| Description: |
The main activity on the Vestal Spur, the remaining piece of the DLW west of Binghamton, was the NYSEG Goudy Generating Station, which got 90 or so cars twice weekly. The coal would come in on UNG trains, which dropped the loads at Binghamton. WABH 11%would get the task of switching out the plant. Since CR assigned a single 4 motor unit to that job-they didnt allow 6 axle units on the spur, it would take the cars down in 45 car cuts, and work the plant solo. It could be an all day affair for the local, since the plant yard was oddly configured, and there was a lot of see sa{ing to get loads in, and empties out. Thats the NY 201 overpass above the train. |

Unit of the year |
| Description: |
I was somewhat tickled to find CR 1987 working at Garwoods on this tie train. Probably should have used the shot for a Christmas card. |
