Moving the power around |
| Description: |
The D&H hostler is moving the power for SC 3, which will depart shortly once the engines are tied together. It will be quite a consisit. These units will go out in reverse order, with former bicentennial 200 leading seven units. |

Going away |
| Description: |
There were two sets of consecutive units on this train. The leaders were a pair of U23s, now a pair of ex Reading GP 39s. This was a typical power set in the mid 80s. |

Ex D&H U23 |
| Description: |
When Guilford took over the D&H, they moved much of the power around their roster, with the D&H units being most affected. An example of that is the two units leading this train. Once D&H U23Bs, they are now lettered for the Maine Central. It became a sore point at the D&H that Guilford kept all the newer power when it let the D&H go in 1988. |

Guilford trio |
| Description: |
BUME behind three Guilford painted units rolls along the rock wall next to NY 17 just east of Corning with 48 cars. This was a challenging shot for an eastbound, as you had to stand on the shoulder of westbound NY 17, an expressway. Timing had to be good, as you could not stop here long. I got it right this sunny morning, catching three Guilford units, one each for the component roads, though the leader and trailing units had been "transferred" away from the D&H. |
