| Description: |
An eastbound Hanjin train, to become HAN 2 when it reaches the D&H at Buffalo with its 55 stack platforms, has cleared the single track down 19th St at Erie and resumes its high speed trip to Buffalo on the old Nickel Plate. High hood 1630 was formerly an NW unit. |

Waiting to get in |
| Description: |
Lack of yard space sometimes made it necessary for trains to be parked outside the yard. This BFOA is on Conrail track 3 waiting for space in the yard. A yard crew will come out and get it when theres room. NS power was typical. |

Deepwater local |
| Description: |
Virginian had a line that went to Deepwater, on the Kanawha River, to interchange wtih the NYC. During a trip to chase C&O 614 in January of 1985, I lucked onto this run on the line. It was around 0730, really too early for much light there, but I took the shots I could. |

Interesting stuff |
| Description: |
An overview of QD yard shows a few interesting items. In the foreground is a set of power that came off a Goudy coal train. A trio of UP units, no stranger to coal service out west, are not that common here. Behind them is an NS SD40-2, one of the early ones that had been an NW unit originally. In the background, thats not a P&W unit. NYSW acquired some ex P&W units as part of their lease fleet. Most of them wound up working on the NYSW for a time, including this one, presently dozing away the afternoon. The NYSW proper also is showing the flag, as a yellowjacket from BH 2 comes around the corner from Bevier St, seen under the bridge in the distance. |

PYRP arrives |
| Description: |
PYRP crosses Terrace Drive and enters the East Binghamton yard. Power is typical, but today we have something different, rebuilt GP 38-2 7312, just in from M-K in Mountain Top PA. Note the railfan chase vehicle in the foreground. This was a Canadian built Chevy Celebrity for the Canadian market-the speed read in kilometers per hour, and the odometer counted kilometers. It took some adjusting to figure out how far and fast you were going. I got pretty good at multiplying everything by 5/8ths. |

A trio of 40s |
| Description: |
From odd places. The leader is an ex Southern SD 40-2, still at it after all these years, and still with the high short hood that was the hallmark of Southern, and merger partner NW. The UP units were a surprise, since by this time, bigger power was standard, and many of the 40 line units were on locals or yard duty. But, 12T was an unusual train, and anything could show up. |

NS power run through |

Some stack trains of that era got NS run through power as well, which occasionally got interesting. One of the less common units on NS and Southern before it was the B30-7A. Here we see 3508 leading a 257 train west with 45 stack platforms and 47 cars of merchandise from the NY 352 overpass at Big Flats. |

Southern power rolls |
| Description: |
A set of Southern SD 40s rolls south through a pair of NW signals with a grain train on the NW Shenandoah Sub, showing the effects of the NS merger four years earlier. Long hood forward was standard practice on the Southern and N&W, so the leader is not running backward. |

Grab shot |
| Description: |
My wife doesnt believe I get these. We were driving through Decatur AL on the way home from Georgia last weekend when I pulled up to a light on US72A. There was a crossing between me and the intersection. I looked over, expecting empty track on a Sunday afternoon. To my surprise, there was a train there. I took advantage of the slow speed to roll over the crossing, holding the camera up. I tripped the shutter as we went over the crossing, with this result. A pair of SDs are holding north of the crossing on an industrial track leading to the Nucor steel plant. |
