Underpowered
Title:  Underpowered
Description:  OIBU must have had a unit go down somewhere, as it was very unusual to see a single unit on this train, which, though car count could vary widely, usually ran upwards of 75 cars. Todays effort has but one C30-7A to get it to at least Gang Mills, where hopefully it will get a companion for the rest of the trip.

Gloomy day, high water
Title:  Gloomy day, high water
Description:  Another day, another day of rain. The spring of 1991 was so bad we just went out and shot trains anyway, since wed never see anything if we waited for sunny days. The excessive precipitation is showing in the adjacent Susquehanna, the water getting close to the top of the banks, putting a lot of trees in the river. Today's 51 car OIBU will manage to stay out of the drink.

Cant get this now
Title:  Cant get this now
Description:  For one thing, Conrail, which replaced the Erie Lackawanna here, is itself now a long ago memory. The trees that are saplings in this photo, are now grown up, blocking the view of the half dozen or so trains that now run here each week. OIBU passes with 39 cars, and will be in Binghamton in about 30 minutes.

Coming from New Haven
Title:  Coming from New Haven
Description:  NHSE had a couple of routings over the years. For a while it was running south on the Hudson Line to Beacon, then the old New Haven Maybrook line to Cedar Hill. Most of the time it ran via Springfield and the Berkshires, such as this one topping the Berkshire summit with 80 cars in tow behind an unusual leader, as this was almost exclusively GE country for road power.

Crew change and go
Title:  Crew change and go
Description:  Conrails stack trains got out of Croxton overnight, but were usually held at Sloatsburg for the inbound commuter trains. This got them to Port Jervis around mid morning. Its about 1030 and TV 303 is making its crew change and will be on its way up the Delaware momentarily. Of note, the obelisk on the mountain top in the distance is the highest point in New Jersey, in appropriately named High Point State Park. It sits at 1803 feet above sea level.

Goudy coal
Title:  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.
