A ghost from the past |
| Description: |
A D&H Belden Hill detour train pulls up the connector from the D&H Penn Division to Conrails Southern Tier Line at Jefferson Jct behind a mix of power that looks deceptively like a vision from the past. The reality is that the patch paint over the former road name has worn off, allowing the prior owners name to bleed through. Nobody was complaining!! |

Through the snow |
| Description: |
BUEB rolls 78 cars east toward Binghamton in the snowy fields of western NY, seen from a local road bridge near Dalton. The power was common in those days. The SD26 is a recent acquisiton of Guilford, and will ultimately be painted Springfield Terminal. As if that wasn't enough heritage, the third unit is an ex Rock Island U25B. |

Not exactly dashing through the snow |
| Description: |
But making decent enough time. A telephoto view of BUEB rolling east at Dalton behind the kind of power mix only Guilford could cnncoct. At least the B&M unit is leading. |
