NS shows |
| Description: |
NS ran two merchandise trains to CN at Montreal, 31T north and 30T south. This is 30T rolling through BX on its way to East Binghamton, where it will get a new crew to take it on to Enola. It could show any time, though afternoons were common. Sometimes if NS didnt have a rested crew, it would get stowed on track 4 at Binghamton til one was ready. Today's power is notable in that the leader is an ex CR SD 70 that was slated to go to NS when it was purchased. The second unit is one of the NW low nose SD40-2's acquired in the late 70's, and anomaly for NW, which had always specified high short hoods and long hood forward operation. |

ABBU with NS power |
| Description: |
ABBU, an empty grain move from the Port of Albany to the NS at Buffalo, rolls through Silver Springs just after New Years. Once on NS, it will run the old NKP to Bellevue OH. This was a lucky shot. I was driving home from Buffalo, coming through town and decided to check the signals. This guy showed up just as I reached the crossing. Some days you win. |

An NS unit sits at the East Binghamton engine facility, waiting to go out on the next RPPY. It shares the lights with a D&H unit, and an NYSW Alco. Just another day on the D&H. The D&H hopper at far right is full of sand, supplying the sand towers at the fuel pad. |

Buy US Savings Bonds |
| Description: |
Conrail had a couple of units painted to encourage purchase of US Savings Bonds. One of them leads ML 440 as seen from the overpass at Hunt, just east of the Portage Bridge. The signal alongside the train was a semaphore til a couple of years earlier; up til then there were a pair of them here. When track 2 was lifted, the signal was replaced with a Type G cluster signal. The roadbed of former track 2 has been graded and ballasted to make a maintenance road. |

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. Here it is sitting on the Buffalo Runner next to the old D&H station, waiting for a new crew to head to Buffalo and a ride on the ex NKP. NS power was typical, and usually ran through to Ayer. |
