Detour train |
| Description: |
An eastbound is by QD on track 2 with a pair of NS units. NS would not take over the Tier for another two years, and I cannot recall a train running through to CP at this time. Must be a detour train over CR?? |

Coal train east |
| Description: |
One of the things I tried to do when I could was follow routes that put me next to rail lines. Sometimes it yielded interesting results, such as this along US 287in Texas, though the problems inherent with parking a 53 foot trailer often prevented me from getting the ideal shot. |

Power to head south |
| Description: |
RPPY and PYRP ran with a mix of CSX and NS power south of Binghamton, though it was usually one or the other, and rarely mixed. This time its NS power, a representative example seen here at the fuel rack. Where else but Binghamton could you find EMD, GE, and Alco all coupled to each other?? |

41T |
| Description: |
41T didnt always get CN power. Sometimes it was run of the mill NS units-though by then the NS C36-7's were getting really uncommon, today with a pair of FAIX leasers in tow along with 87 cars at Miller Beach Rd in Owego |
