Not really a chase
Title:  Not really a chase
Description:  41T is at Binghamton getting a crew change, and will be on its way shortly. The leader, NS today instead of the usual CN power, lines up nicely with the SD 60M working as H01s power today. Look at all those old buildings lining Chenango St.

12T with a flag
Title:  12T with a flag
Description:  The weather could have been better; it seems every time an interesting leader would show up, the weather would be horrible. This morning, its just foggy as 12T gets 46 cars underway out of Binghamton with a UP flag unit, something that was still somewhat of a novelty at the time, especially this far east.

Gang Mills bound
Title:  Gang Mills bound
Description:  Local H13 has a cut of empty coal hoppers in tow as it gets ready to run back to Gang Mills following a run down to Sayre from Ithaca, one on of the few parts of the LV west end still in service.

Hiding in the bushes
Title:  Hiding in the bushes
Description:  13T rolls out of the shrubbery at west Endicott with 60 cars behind an eclectic mix of power, typical for this train. The foliage in the northeast gets heave, as we see here, so much that it can be a real hindrance to photography.
