Clearing town
Title:  Clearing town
Description:  MEBU rolls under the signal at West BD with an ex Reading leader as it clears the Binghamton yard area and rolls for Buffalo. Note the steel milepost under the cab of the 7412. This was DLW MP 195, the westernmost milepost on what remained of the continuous Lackawanna track from New Jersey. Most of the railroad west of here was abandoned after 1959. The remnant in the Binghamton area is at far right, the Vestal Spur, which dead ends a few miles west across the Susquehanna in Vestal.

Even GP 30s
Title:  Even GP 30s
Description:  Chessies contribution to the NYSW during this period was mostly road power on stack trains-not surprising since they owned Sea Land at the time. The trains came off the ex B&O at Buffalo, and the power usually ran through to Jersey. Anything could show up, though it was typically GP 40s, but other power would make an appearance, such as this GP 30 leading HAN 2 taking the Buffalo Runner at QD, as seen from the Chenango St overpass.

F 45 roster
Title:  F 45 roster
Description:  East Binghamton under NYSW was largely an open house. As long as you didnt do anything stupid, and stayed out of the way, you were unofficially welcome to come down and shoot all the photos you wanted. I made the most of this sunny day in December 1988, getting this roster shot of a set of 45s, led by one of the Fs.

No its not Billings
Title:  No its not Billings
Description:  Despite the two BN painted units. About this time, a lot of BN SD 45s came off lease/were sold by BN, and wound up all over America on lease fleets and regionals. NYSW, aside from having a fleet of its own ex BN power, also leased a number of these units while running the D&H. We see two at East Binghamton
