West on track 3
Title:  West on track 3
Description:  Sometimes if there was a conflicting move on the Erie side, the Hornell dispatcher would run a train in or out of East Binghamton on the DLW side, known here since EL days as track 3. MEBU is getting the DLW side this morning as it heads west. It will go past the Lackawanna station downtown as it heads for West BD and the Erie main there. It's a Saturday morning, and the faithful are on hand to see the action.

Motley mix
Title:  Motley mix
Description:  Conrail, as a rule in its later days, generally ran a fairly unified power consist-a set of six axle units, sometimes four, depending on what was available, and what standard practice was. Occasionally, something would get out of kilter, and it became anything goes. Here we see an OIBU rolling west with a GP 38 leading an SD 50, and a pair of NS units, one GE, one EMD. They have their 99 cars well in hand, and will get over the road promptly.

Grain west
Title:  Grain west
Description:  ABBU was an empty grain train from the Port of Albany that ran as needed. As such, it was not a priority, and ran when a crew was available, so it would often get yarded at Binghamton. This one is now crewed and rolling out, and will shortly be headed west on the Tier.

Ford empties
Title:  Ford empties
Description:  Train AFOB ran from the auto ramp at Ayer Mass through onto NS, forwarding mostly auto racks to Bellevue Oh, where they were sent to various midwestern assembly plants.

Run through power
Title:  Run through power
Description:  NS power would sometimes turn up on OIBU, probably after Conrail borrowed it at Enola. It would run to Buffalo, getting turned back to NS there. A pair of NS units trail this OIBU passing the model railroad buildings at Waverly. In a few months, Guilford would put the D&H in bankruptcy and cut it loose. NS would assist in the directed service, and NS power would be a daily event on the Tier.

This SLN 4 is going to back out onto the Tier and go east behind a mix of support power, for now taking in the glow of the late afternoon sun as it awaits a new crew at Bevier St. Summer wild flowers add some color to the scene.

Title:  Knocking it down
Description:  One of the great things about semaphores is watching them drop as a train passes. I had the pleasure this morning, as BUME rolls past the blade on signal 255-2 at Waverly, seen above the truck to the left of the train.
