Unusual 4 motor |
| Description: |
Many types of units from CPs roster worked in Binghamton, but their own GP 38s were not a common sight here. Several did come to Binghamton for a short while, such as this 3032 getting set to pull 110 cars from Bevier St across the river to East Binghamton yard. The first cars of the cut are a lesson in CP-D&H history. |

Old signals |
| Description: |
In its original configuration, the DLW S&U lines crossed the D&H here at a location called BX and went to East Binghamton yard, which today is used by CP. The D&H Bevier St yard was(is) to the left out of the photo, It commected here to the DLW and the Erie, with the line to their passenger station and the Erie yard crossing the DLW line. Were looking south on the Lackawanna at a CP train coming up the old DLW, and heading onto the D&H in a reworking of the junction, now all switches with the diamond long removed. The signals guarded the BX crossing, but have been out of service for a long tiime by the date of this photo. |

Vanishing scene |
| Description: |
Train 557 pases the signal at MP 249-2 as it approaches Waverly. The semaphores were scheduled to be replacesd, but the reality was that most of them between Endicott and Waverly would last into the 21st century, so they didnt vanish quite as fast as anyone expected-to our great delight. The real surprise here is the trailing unit-a GP38-2. These were not common on the D&H, though there was a period in 1994 when they showed on a regular basis. Today's train has 7 COFC and 25 stack platforms. |

Clean power |
| Description: |
This unit got repainted about four times over the 15 years I saw it on the Tier. Here it is in the "golden rodent" scheme, leading 75 cars of train 413 north at Nowlan Rd. Note the pilot is cut out on the edges so it can run on Metro North, which CP was doing at the time, with trains 416/417 from Saratoga to Fresh Pond. |

D22 returns |
| Description: |
D 22 was the old SU 2. It worked west to Owego two days per week to service the Owego & Harford, and the other days ran Binghamton to Oneonta, as well as doing any local work in the Binghamton area. It almost always got 4 axle power, often one of the D&H units. Here it enters Binghamton yard behind a "golden rodent" and a lightning stripe GP38-2. |

Train 413 rolls slowly through the south end of Bevier St, at what used to be BX cabin, as the rear of its train is stretched out to BD. Once clear of those obstacles, it will start its run to Belden tunnel in earnest. Todays effort has six units-including one of SOO's five SD60M's-for its 128 cars, a heavy train in this era. |

Making a run for it |
| Description: |
Train 413s six units are pulling hard to lift 128 cars to Belden tunnel. That non-dynamic brake ex B&M GP 40 won't be much help on the downhill side of the tunnel, as its lack of DB's will prevent the use of them on the trailing three units. |

There was a spate of GP 38s going north on 413 during this time. Not sure why the exodus, and they seemed to lead most of the time. One is on the point of todays 413 as it rolls through the north end crossovers to head for BD and a trip north. Check out that second unit, an ex SOO SD 40 in Golden Rodent paint. |
