More roadside running |
| Description: |
The road that runs next to CPs East Binghamton yard is NY 7, which follows the line down past Conklin, where it turns west, and NY 7A picks up the chase. Once into Pennsylvania, it becomes one of PAs many 4 digit tertiary roads, and soon winds up in Hallstead. We are just south of the state line in PA where there is a small pull out with a good view of the tracks. The light is getting really low as I catch 30T with a set of old power in an easy shot. |

Were off!! |
| Description: |
I caught this 31T rolling west out of Binghamton as it left QD and rolled its 107 cars across the Chenango River. It was one of those glorious sunny days in the Tier, made for a chase. I made the best of it, following this train to Dalton, almost 140 miles to the west. |

Last shot |
| Description: |
This was the last shot I got of that 31T. West of Hornell, he really took off, and I had a hard time keeping up, since he had 50 MPH, and I had to get through Canisteo and Hornell, a challenge to start with, then deal with 40 MPH at Arkport, 30 at Canaseraga, and hope to stay close. I beat him here, but that was the end. I could have beat him to Silver Springs, but it was getting late and I had to be at work the next morning by 6. |

Three units on the Chemung |
| Description: |
31T crosses the Chemung River, as seen from the park on Water St. This was always a good location, but if you shot him at Waverly, you had to run to get it. If you shot him at Chemung, you really had to hustle, and hope you made the lights in Elmira. |

New track |
| Description: |
There had been a washout near this location several years prior, and the track had all been rebuilt. 31T is taking advantage of the new track, though the curvature in the valley is such that it wont make a lot of speed anyway. The view shows why this is such a great place to shoot train photos. |

Six big ones |
| Description: |
The CN trains must have gotten out of their slot, since they rarely ran with more than four units, and even that was unusual. This 41T seen across the corn at Hiawatha Rd has six, so a set must have gotten out of its cycle, and is now being moved back home as part of this massive consist, with 85 cars in tow. |

Morning regular |
| Description: |
One of the usual features of the mornings activity at East Binghamton was the arrival of 41T, which came through the yard and onto NS Southern Tier Line, typically late morning/mid day. This mornings effort is led by a full body SD 50. Older power was not unusual, and we saw a fairly steady stream of wide cab SD 40s and cowl units. |

Wisconsin Central in this case. Train 41T makes its way through East Binghamton as it heads toward BD and home rails for the trip to Buffalo with a GP 40-2 in the mix. Seeing various component roads in the mix was not taht unusual-the next unit is a repainted IC unit-but the WC power tended to be SD 45's, and four axle power was not that common. Todays train has 31 cars. |

Unusual visitor |
| Description: |
Todays 41T had a very unusual leader, a CSX unit. We saw very few of these on NS, though they were not unusual on NYSW trains due to that road handling some CSX overhead traffic to Jersey. The bright yellow nose made for a great look as it rolled west along the George F Highway as it approached the big curve at Endwellwith 39 cars. |
