168 |
| Description: |
168 rolls containers north at Depot Hill Rd behind an unusual power set. By this time, the standard cab C40s were not a big deal, but the SD40-2s were, as this train almost always drew a pair of big GEs |

Interesting leader |
| Description: |
One of the things about the non priority trains was that they got some of the second tier power, i.e. not a GE wide cab, though there were so many of those just about every train had them, including locals. A case in point is this 12T passing under the Campville-Apalachin bridge with a GP 50 leading. These ex Southern units were one time stars, handling hot trains in the Piedmont. |

Lotsa power |
| Description: |
Five units lead this 13T in the gloom of a December afternoon, approaching Hiawatha Rd. It's an interesting power set: four older GE's, including a C36-7, and a GP 50. Ten years prior, this would be first string power. |

Western visitors |
| Description: |
A pair of UP units has todays 13T at the old DLW station as it waits for a new crew to go south on the CP. 13T was a good bet for off line power, sometimes not the top of the line stuff. This C40-8 and SD40-2 are now far from the top tier of road power on UP. Still, they are a welcome change to the onslaught of wide cab GEs that were taking over the country at the time. |

CSX detour |
| Description: |
During summer track work season, CSX would send detour trains over NYSW on a daily basis. Mostly these were low priority trains, usually Q 403 and 404. Q 156 was a higher priority train that often made the trip via Binghamton. We see it here passing Kirkwood Industrial Park along US 11 with a UP leader, with 46 freight and 79 stacks for Jersey. |
