Rounding the curve |
| Description: |
One of our favorite spots for a photo was at Chemung. It was easy off/easy on if you were driving, as the spot was right off the exit 59 off ramp. Get your shot and go. This NU 1 behind PLM power provided the action, rolling 105 cars west around the big curve, past the old Erie station on the inside of it. |

Though the blades at Tioga Center were on their way out, this one at Waverly had a better future, lasqing a couple more years til Conrail single tracked west of Waverly. I made the most of it, shooting trains here often. |

Power assist |
| Description: |
When CP took over operation of the D&H, they almost immediately brought in leased power to augment their own fleet. There were two groups of power initially, from GATX and PLM(Precision Leasing Management). The PLM units were in this attractive blue scheme, and became known as "plums" to the local fans. Two of them lead a pair of CP units on 555, formerly PYRP, at BX, passing the Agway feed mill. |

On the other side of town |
| Description: |
A train is rolling...with apologies to the Eagles. The big game in town that day was a BUAB with NYSW and SOO power. It was over at QD downtown, waiting on a new crew. While we all milled around contemplating our chase, the radio announced that a BUME was about to go north out of East Binghamton. Getting out of the yard is a slow process, and I was able to get to BD ahead of the train, shooting its two recently arrived PLM units. |

We also see here the caboose on Conrail local WABH 11, and the nose of a dead NYSW C 430 just to its left. At far left is the D&H station. The Chenango St overpass crosses the whole show. |

Its a CP train now |
| Description: |
CP took over the D&H in July 1990. Stack trains continued to run through with NYSW power, an arrangement that would lead to CP power in New Jersey as well as yellowjackets in Buffalo, as we see here on this SLN 5, symbolled 255 by CP-and DHT 9 by Conrail(got all that??) rolling across the Chemung River, seen from the Clemens Center Parkway bridge. |

There was a small trailer park on Conklin Road, almost adjacent to the CP engine house. Sometimes you could get a shot here if mothing was parked on the runners, such as on this day. A wide variety of equipment could be seen. Todays view has a PLM unit, a few CP units, a D&H lightning stripe GP 38-2, and a leftover from steam days, an old tender. whose purpose I do not now recall. The ex DLW yard tower can be seen at far left. |
