Every day is like this
Title:  Every day is like this
Description:  A wild assortment of power could be found at East Binghamton most days, and this day is like most. The two leased BAR units bracket a GATX lease unit. This trio will go out later as a helper set. The NYSW SD 45s were all over, as were a variety of other leased SD 45s, such as this ex Southern unit from NRL.

Rolling in the sun
Title:  Rolling in the sun
Description:  For a late afternoon northbound, there were not too many decently lit shots going north. One that worked was this view at Afton, where there was enough angle to shoot from the shoulder of NY 7. We see a PLMT rolling toward the signal at GR behind a mix of power.

Approaching the signal
Title:  Approaching the signal
Description:  The signal gantry at GR is well known, and easy to get a shot of, due to being so close to the road. PLMT rolls up to it as the afternoon rolls on into evening.

View from the road
Title:  View from the road
Description:  This view from NY 17C west of Endicott was possible for a few years in the late 80s and early 90s before it got treed in. We see MEBU rolling west toward Owego, the Tri Cities Airport beyond the train.

BUME arriving
Title:  BUME arriving
Description:  Most of the time, BUAB would take the Buffalo Runner and head up to Bevier St and recrew, but sometimes if there was no room, or the power was to be changed, it would run into East Binghamton. Here we see it arriving behind NYSW 3638. This is something of a treat, as this unit was more of a hangar queen, and on the road only sporadically, thus seeing it in service was something of a novelty.

Turning move
Title:  Turning move
Description:  A set of power has come out of East Binghamton and across CR at BD, and will shortly clear the crossovers at the south end of Bevier St. Then it will go back down to QD, reverse and go through town on the Tier to get back to the yard. Guess they really wanted the NYSW B 40 leading.

Why they turned the power
Title:  Why they turned the power
Description:  Walter Rich put out a directive when the NYSW started running the D&H that NYSW painted units were to lead wherever practicable. This power set is being turned to get the B 40s in the lead. The unit on the other end is a leased GATX GP 38, so its also possible the crew wanted the new unit to run from.
