Detour train
Title:  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??

Power to head south
Title:  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
Title:  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
