Good looking leader |
| Description: |
On the D&H in that era, it was possible have a six unit consist, and no two alike, and most of them dirty. It was a treat to find former LV C 420 413 in clean paint, leading a set of NW units. My friend Jerry got this shot one weekend while up at the farm. |

Interesting stuff |
| Description: |
An overview of QD yard shows a few interesting items. In the foreground is a set of power that came off a Goudy coal train. A trio of UP units, no stranger to coal service out west, are not that common here. Behind them is an NS SD40-2, one of the early ones that had been an NW unit originally. In the background, thats not a P&W unit. NYSW acquired some ex P&W units as part of their lease fleet. Most of them wound up working on the NYSW for a time, including this one, presently dozing away the afternoon. The NYSW proper also is showing the flag, as a yellowjacket from BH 2 comes around the corner from Bevier St, seen under the bridge in the distance. |

A shot I wanted to do, but never seemed to be in the right place for, was this shot from NY 17C in Campville. It didnt turn out as well as I had hoped, as the lighting was a problem most of the day, and there was more clutter than at first glance. Either way, heres a 98 car UB series coal train behind the usual set of SD40 types. |

Taking the connection |
| Description: |
CP trains use the former DLW East Binghamton yard, crossing the Susquehanna River to join the ex Erie at BD. One of the possibilities there is a connection from the DLW to the Erie to head through the old Erie station area and access the QD yard, and then go west. This 309 train is on the connection and will roll west to Buffalo and a connection to NS. |

I like to put railroad lineside items in my photos; mileposts are always a good prop. MP 216 is on the Tier where in Johnson City, down off a back street. Almost all the mileposts on the Tier are the ex Erie concrete markers that show JC on them, signifying Jersey City. NS has replaced many in the process of single tracking the line. Here is 891 rolling 86 empties west. |

271 arrives |
| Description: |
Prior to CP taking over, when the D&H used letter codes, this train wa MEBU, and often ran the Buffalo Runner to the Southern Tier, bypassing the yard. CP worked it more often than not, so we have the incongruity of a westbound going east(or south) into the yard. Here it is behind three GATX units, two of which-the yellow ones-would eventually be bought by CP. Todays train has 86 cars. |

390 with lease power |
| Description: |
Even though the Albany grain trains would sometimes get SOO power, they more often got whatever was handy. In todays case, 390 rolls into Binghamton behind a set of lease units. |

High view of an eastbound |
| Description: |
This is a view not typically seen, due to the lateness of the day, when the shot would be into the sun here. One advantage of the awful weather was being able to use the overcast to work the light, so we can see this 270 rolling into the curve at MP 231. |

Han Solo |
| Description: |
These are not the stacks you are looking for. A solo GATX unit has train 252, about to become HAN 2 when the NYSW crew takes over, at QD. I don't recall if the Suskie added power to this train. If not, it was a long night on the Delaware Division for the crew. |

554 |
| Description: |
Train 554 usually got CP power, often Alcos; GATX units on this train were really uncommon. Todays train has a pair of GATX lease units, which almost never happened. They are seen here at Phelps St in Port Dickinson bringing 5 stack platforms and 25 TOFC in from Montreal. |
