New order
Title:  New order
Description:  In June of 1988, Guilford cast the D&H off into bankruptcy. The NYSW was named designated operator, and immediately took over running the railroad. They received help from CSX and NS, with CSX financing a total of 20 new B40-8s, as well as letting power run through to Jersey on stack trains. Heres SLN 4 rolling east at BD behind a pair of CSX units and an NYSW SD 45 as the late day sun reflects off the long line of containers.

Showing the flag
Title:  Showing the flag
Description:  NYSW tried whenever possible to run its own power in the lead. Sometimes that meant one of the F 45s, which was always a treat. Todays MEBU has 3636 leading at BX, about to cross CR at BD. The signal governed the long out of service crossing of the EL and D&H here on a diamond. Now it's a pair of crossovers.

Even GP 30s
Title:  Even GP 30s
Description:  Chessies contribution to the NYSW during this period was mostly road power on stack trains-not surprising since they owned Sea Land at the time. The trains came off the ex B&O at Buffalo, and the power usually ran through to Jersey. Anything could show up, though it was typically GP 40s, but other power would make an appearance, such as this GP 30 leading HAN 2 taking the Buffalo Runner at QD, as seen from the Chenango St overpass.

Pusher set
Title:  Pusher set

DLW side
Title:  DLW side
Description:  MEBU, looking like NYSW has a pool with BN, rolls west on track 3, the former DLW westbound main, passing the DLW station on the right, and the Erie freight house on the left. The station is still standing, serving multiple purposes for new owners. The freight house was torn down several years later, and replaced with a small building used by local crews. Track 3 was sometimes used if there was traffic on the Erie main between BD and West BD. Also in this view, we see the station power plant, the low brick building with the concrete stack; and the Marconi tower, an early effort at radio communications. The Lackawanna got into radio early, due to the weather related issues with lineside wires that came with the heavy winters in the region.

A 45 and an SDP
Title:  A 45 and an SDP
Description:  MEBU has cut off its train at Bevier St and will take the power to East Binghamton. The NYSW SD 45s were familiar sights in this era, the SDP 45s with actual steam generators(EL had 'em without the passenger equipment, they just wanted the longer frame for a bigger fuel tank), were unusual. The trailing unit is one of them, an ex GN unit now part of NRLs lease fleet.

High Iron
Title:  High Iron
Description:  SLN 5 rolls west behind a trio of SD 45s on the Southern Tier between Johnson City and Endwell. Heavy rail, deep ballast, big power. Looks like the major leagues. This was a good photo spot, as it was easily accessible from NY 17, as well as NY 17C, locally known as the George F Highway, which parallelled the tracks here.
