Alcos galore |
| Description: |
Train 522 rolls 96 cars past the signals at Tioga Center with a pair of SDs bracketing three MLW units, including an M636. Alco design units were common on the D&H proper, but were not seen nearly as often on the Tier. |

CSX detour |
| Description: |
During summer track work season, CSX would send detour trains over NYSW on a daily basis. Mostly these were low priority trains, usually Q 403 and 404. Q 156 was a higher priority train that often made the trip via Binghamton. We see it here passing Kirkwood Industrial Park along US 11 with a UP leader, with 46 freight and 79 stacks for Jersey. |

On familiar turf |
| Description: |
A HATX lease unit leads BH 2 down the ramp at Old State Road as it heads out of Binghamton. The unit was once one of B&Ms last order of new diesels, a GP40-2 delivered in 1978, and a frequent visitor here via the D&H. |

Leased power on BH 2 |
| Description: |
Sometimes NYSW would run short of power, and find themselves in the lease market. Sometimes this meant some really ratty looking diesels. Here we see a pair of ex Guilford units at Old State Rd in Port Dick heading north late in the day. |

Alcos roll north |
| Description: |
Todays 270 has three RS18us head out, uncommon power for this train, which usually got SDs, but not unheard of. CP would use anything that ran, as we see here. Nobody was complaining. The train has just started out and is passing the south end of Bevier St and the famous Agway mill with 63 cars for Mohawk. |

Clearance |
| Description: |
SU 99 rolls off the bridge over the East Branch of the Delaware at Hancock. Look at the clearance over the train. This is why the Erie was the high and wide railroad in the east, a legacy of its original 6 foot gauge construction. |

By the feed mill |
| Description: |
The feed mill at right was at one time an Erie customer. In the age of the NYSW, there are very few shippers left on the line, and SU 99 rolls through without stopping. |
