Tiptoe through the tulips |
| Description: |
Or, as is more typical of New York state in the summer, the Queen Annes lace. Train 169 picks its way slowly through Oneonta where there was once a lot more trackage and a lot less flowers, as it makes its way down to OG and the single track south. |

12T |
| Description: |
12T usually got out of Binghamton early in the day, and if you had time, you could chase it a long way. Here we see it at Cameron along the Canisteo River with 77 cars and a "heritage" unit leading. |

Leaving the valley |
| Description: |

Milliken coal |
| Description: |
The coal trains to NYSEGs Milliken Station, north of Ithaca, though there were usually three up and down in any given week, ran on an irregular basis, and could show at any time, so it was always a treat to find one. This 125 car train bound for the power plant is northbound behind a leader that is familiar with the territory as it rolls through West Danby on the ex LV. |

Interesting power for 206 |
| Description: |
Train 206 usually got a pair of GEs, once in a while an EMD, almost always C40s with an occasional SD 60 or 70. Today there must have been a problem, as one of the local service SD40 rebuilds is leading the train off the Chenango River bridge, seen from Water St. |

Conrail leader |
| Description: |
Occasionally, 205 would get ex CR power still in blue. It looked good in the snow, as it did when Conrail ran the trains here. Today ex CR SD 60I 6745 noses out past the QD sign as it waits for a new crew to go west. |

12T on the DL side |
| Description: |
A short(17 car) train 12T behind among other things, a pair of ex CR units, waits for a crew at Binghamton late in the day. This photo gives a good overview of the changes that have taken place in the DL&W station area over the years, and some things that have not changed as well. The train sits on the Johnson Running track, once track 1 on the DLW main, and designated Track 3 by EL. To the right, track DL4, once EL track 4 and originally DLWs eastbound main track 2, now is lifted over the Chenango River. West of the Susquehanna, the line is a walking trail through Vestal, and forms most of the right of way for NY 17 west to Elmira. At lower right, the station platforms are still in place, though deteriorating. The shed over the set out tracks is also still in place, though those tracks, which once served to hold set out sleepers and mail/express, and in later years equipment owned by the Susquehanna Valley RHS, are now "land locked", the switches to the main tracks removed during the construction of the baseball stadium, which is seen at right of the train. The stadium where the AA Binghamton Mets play, is on the site of the DLW freight house, and saw its first game in April 1992. To the right of the set out tracks is the stack for the station power house. The power house sits to the left of the stack, partly obscured by foliage. Partly visible at the right edge of the photo is a steel tower that was one of the original Marconi installations, now an engineering landmark. To the left of the train, the brick building and vehicles beyond it sit on the site of the Erie freighthouse, torn down several years earlier. |
