Tradition
Title:  Tradition
Description:  For many years, D&H and B&M ran their power through onto the other road, and it was not uncommon to see D&H power in Deerfield, or B&M units in Oneonta or Binghamton, years before both roads came under the Guilford umbrella. That practice remains in 2005, even if the colors have changed some. Portland-Mohawk train POMO is led by a set of CP and lease power on the B&M at Pownal.

Leasers west
Title:  Leasers west
Description:  A westbound rack train passes under Willis Av near CP 293 behind a pair of CEFX units. The SD45 carbodies are deceptive; the units have been rebuilt to SD40-2 standards.

SU 100 with lease power
Title:  SU 100 with lease power
Description:  For a couple of years in the early part of the 2000s decade, NYSW leased a pair of SD38s from Locomotive Leasing Partners. Here one of them leads SU 100 at Kirkwood NY en route to Jersey.

Mixed up set
Title:  Mixed up set
Description:  For a while in the 1990s, NYSW could put together a pretty good looking set of power. After Walter Rich passed, and most of the SD 45s were sold or scrapped, they picked up used diesels from a number of sources. The result was, it became harder and harder to find a matched set of power. This SU 100 is a case in point, rolling a 63 car train east past the Kirkwood water plant, though it does have one of the two SD 40T-2's that they had painted at the time.

Unusual sight
Title:  Unusual sight
Description:  The CP SD 40 types were far too common on the Tier, and we even had the SD40F red barns here for a while. CEFX power, on the other hand, was not, despite a group of new GEs that showed on a fairly regular basis. The other power was not all that common on CP. This 10T is an exception, with an SD 45 body unit between a pair of CPs own, seen rolling 60 cars past Miller Beach Rd.
