Penn Division
Title:  Penn Division
Description:  In an ironic twist of fate, PYRP, once the WR 7, seen at the top of the photo, would have crossed this plate girder bridge over NY 7 on its way north. The D&H last used this bridge several years prior during the detours while Belden Tunnel was rebuilt, and it has sat unused since then. It would not be removed for another couple of years, when NY State rebuilt the NY 7 bridge over Wylie Creek, which PYRP is crossing on the well known Harpursville Bridge.

Rolling past the signals
Title:  Rolling past the signals

Semphores and snow

Good looking leader
Title:  Good looking leader
Description:  The brightness of the yellow on NYSW 3636 will help its visibility on this (typical)gloomy day as it rolls BUME east at Waverly. Note the dropping semaphore at left above the boxcar in the siding. When was the last time you saw a freight with not one, but two, F 45's in regular service??

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

Old Erie station
Title:  Old Erie station
Description:  The Erie station at Addison was(and is, as of August 2015) standing. In 1989, it still had the Erie station sign, making a good prop for this MEBU as it rolled into the Canisteo valley.

SLN 5 behind NYSW and NS power
Title:  SLN 5 behind NYSW and NS power
Description:  NYSW and NS power leads SLN 5, symboled DHT 9 on Conrail, past the rocks just east of CP East Glass. This is the approximate location where the DLW and Erie joined going east, with the DLW trains taking the Erie from here to Binghamton after 1959. The DLW was abandoned from here to the west side of Binghamton, except for short segments in Elmira, and from Waverly to Nichols to serve an Agway there. That section was abandoned in 1965. If you know where to look when you're on NY 17 east, you can see vestiges of the right of way near Elmira and Wilawanna; there were still some bridges near Lounsberry, and the Apalachin station still stands. It's a Subway and ice cream shop.

Through the blades
Title:  Through the blades
Description:  SLN 5 rolls through the twin semaphores at MP 243-actually, they are 242-1 and 242-2, they were just east of MP 243-knocking down the signal on track 1. This was probably the most popular shot on the Tier west of Binghamton. Easy to get to, and couldnt beat a pair of blades side by side.

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.

I like this shot
Title:  I like this shot
Description:  But it was hard to get. The location is just west of Deposit on the ex Erie Delaware Division. The problem was, you had to stand on the overpass, which was part of NY 17, a four lane expressway. Not a good idea. The troopers would tell you that, too. We see SLN 4 behind a mix of NS and CSX power.

High above
Title:  High above
Description:  SLN 4 rolls high above Lanesboro as it heads for Jersey behind an interesting mix of NS and CSX power. Both roads had contributed power to assist NYSW with their directed service operation of the D&H, and anything could show up.

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.

Showing the flag
Title:  Showing the flag
Description:  NYSW tried whenever possible to run its own power in the lead. Sometimes that meant one of the F 45s, which was always a treat. Todays MEBU has 3636 leading at BX, about to cross CR at BD. The signal governed the long out of service crossing of the EL and D&H here on a diamond. Now it's a pair of crossovers.
