Description:  But Ill still get the shot. We in Binghamton were an intrepid bunch when it came to shooting train photos-weather didnt really stop us. Sometimes shooting from the car was the best option, as with this southbound at Whitney Point.

Which way EJ??
Title:  Which way EJ??
Description:  Right here. Endicott Johnson Shoe Co was the reason those two towns existed. By the 1990s, they were but a memory in the area, with only one plant still open, making Frye boots in Endicott. This building at right was a warehouse, though from the equipment in the scene, there must have been some manufacturing. BUME passes, and will not stop here for any cars.

HAN 2 in for a crew change
Title:  HAN 2 in for a crew change
Description:  HAN 2 is pulled up on the Buffalo Runner waiting for a new crew. Conrail would not let NYSW change crews on the main most of the time, so they had to either pull up the runner at QD for eastbounds, or back the train into the CP yard for westbounds. Todays train has an SD 45 and GP 38 for power, so there may be some diesel shuffling going on as well.

NY 7 with a local unit
Title:  NY 7 with a local unit
Description:  NYSW 2012 leads this NY 7 into Binghamton. While NYSW was not above using small power on road trains, the long hood first orientation of 2012 makes me think the stack outlawed before it got to Binghamton, and 2012 was sent out to retrieve the train. You never knew what to expect from the Susie Q. The 2012 leads a trio of SD 45s as a set of CP power sits on the 2 runner on the ex DLW in the distance.

Looking down the river
Title:  Looking down the river
Description:  BH 3 rolls 35 cars across the Chenango River, in a companion piece to the similar photo in this album, only now we see more of the frozen river it is crossing. There was a time when an effort was made to have a yellowjacket leading, to put forth a good image. Not today, as the patch painted ex SP unit is leading. It will eventually become an SD30ECO, but for now, its still a tired ex SP tunnel motor.

Open shot
Title:  Open shot
Description:  Train speeds on the Northern Division were modest, 30 MPH in most places, so chasing was not a challenge most of the time. After shooting a train at Forks, you could easily beat him to this spot, where the tracks crossed US 11 south of Whitmey Point. Here you were afforded an open view of the train as it approached the crossing. It will be a good wait for the 110 cars to clear. I wont beat him to Lisle, only three miles up, but Killawog shouldnt be a problem.

To the Syracuse side
Title:  To the Syracuse side
Description:  BH 1 takes the switch for the Syracuse Branch at Forks. Its 77 cars will cause some consternation for the motorists on NY 12 as it slowly clears the interlocking. I'm standing about where the south end of the old DLW station stood until 1976.

Title:  Detour train with western power
Description:  CSX detour train SU 404 approaches the Kattelville Road crossing in Chenango Bridge with a pair of BNSF units leading the usual motley assortment of NYSW power that typified that period, though it is that rarest of power consists these days, having three builders' diesels.

Blocking it up
Title:  Blocking it up
Description:  NYSW 3620 has had a small derailment here on the siding at Wyckoff. The weight of the SD 45 was a little too much for the rails and ties, and the rails spread ever so slightly. A crewman puts wood under the wheels to get them back where they belong.
