The end |
| Description: |
This ICG slug was in the bone yard at Pielet Bros in Mc Cook, where it would ultimately meet the torch. Its company on death row is a pair hf BN TD 45s. I can't find a number on the slug; the ones I saw in service were all BU-and a number. |

Parked for now |
| Description: |
Before Conrail allowed the NYSW and D&H to change crews on its main, the stack trains had to back off Conrail, who said they didnt want the trains tying up their railroad. This was understandable, since the crew change could take anywhere from ten minutes to ten hours, depending on if there was a crew ready. This SLN 3 is backed onto the ex DLW Utica Branch while waiting for a D&H crew. Meanwhile, out of sight on the D&H, a southbound is slowly making its way to BD and the yard across the river. |

On the bridge |
| Description: |
Shots of the north side of the Chenango River bridge are not often seen, since the sun lights that side only late in the day for a few months in the summer. I was there on one of those occasions, catching SLN 3 as it backed its 50 Sea Land platforms and 23 freight off the Tier at QD. |

Backing down |
| Description: |
SLN 3 backs off the Tier at QD as a local fan catches the action. The Erie station stood where the empty space is between the Southern Tier and the ex DLW, whose station is now privately owned, and can be seen to the right of the train, under the Chenango St bridge. |

Patch job |
| Description: |
The only giveaways in this set of power sitting at the Binghamton engine house are the patch paint on 6509, and the yellowjacket scheme on 6370. Otherwise it could be Idaho. We see both F45s in this photo. I only saw them once working back to back in freight service. BN 6640, to become NYSW 3638, turned into something of a hangar queen, and was beset by a variety of ills that kept it off the road a lot of the time. The trailing unit, 6370, became 3636, and was a steady presence on NYSW trains into the 21st century. |

Fremonts other railroad |
| Description: |
Fremont Neb was well known to railfans as the place where CNW and UP handed off trains to each other on the Overland Route, but BN also had a presence there. An interesting set of power leads a local there. The trailing unit would later go on to a glorious second career on the NYSW, pulling stack trains from Jersey to Buffalo. |

No its not Montana |
| Description: |
Though its hard to tell from this power set. The only give away is the renumbering on the leader, as the two trailing units are still in full paint. SLN 3 rolls west on the ex Erie with 60 Sea Land platforms and 24 freight. |
