87T
Title:  87T
Description:  Most of the coal trains that ran the Tier-which was most of them-had 500 series symbols. Occasionally, one would come to Binghamton via the ex LV and DLW from Enola. These would get an 87T(loads) and 88T(empties). This is an 87T, loads for NYSEG-Goudy in Johnson City, sitting on the ex DLW in Binghamton with an interesting mix of power.
