Golden glow
Title:  Golden glow
Description:  I was headed to work one morning, came down the hill from my house to find this 253 going past Campville. I beat it to the straightaway from MP 231 to 232, and was able to get it coming out of the sun as it passed signa; 231-1. Kinda artsy, but I like it.

As part of the upgrade project making the road an interstate, the bridge I'm standing on was removed.

Waiting on a crew
Title:  Waiting on a crew
Description:  an 891 train waits on the Buffalo Runner for a new crew to take it west to Buffalo on the Tier. Appropriately, the train sits next to the old D&H station. The second unit is noteworthy: it was one of the EMD 645 test beds back in the 60's, from the program that developed the prime mover that eventually was used in several thousand EMD locomotives over the next 15 years.

Not as bad as it looks
Title:  Not as bad as it looks
Description:  The 751 train starts up Belden hill from Bevier St, the rear of the train still in the yard. It looks like a hellacious climb-and it is at times-but here, because the new connection to the NYSW, seen below, slopes down, the grade looks worse than it really is. It still aint easy!!

Phosphate train
Title:  Phosphate train
Description:  One of the sporadic moves to run on the D&H was a phosphate train that originated in Floridas Bone Valley on CSX. It was usually symbolled 751, and had run through CSX power. This time, its a pair of Seaboard System SD 40-2s, which we see behind a pair of GATX lease units at the north end of Dyes Siding, which was on the grade about a mile south of Belden Tunnel. It has since been removed, thought the signal mast remains.

Seldom seen signal
Title:  Seldom seen signal
Description:  Actually, I used to see it all the time. Signal 216-2, the distant signal for CP Johnson, was easy to see, just hard to photograph. You could see it from the NY 201 overpass to the west, but stopping there to take a picture was out of the question due to traffic. This was a walk in from the old Broad St crossing. I wish I had done it a little more often. The offset lights were a peculiarity of northeastern railroading not seen much in other parts of the country. HAN 1X passes on its way to Buffalo.

Bandit patch
Title:  Bandit patch
Description:  Despite CP running quite a few SOO units on the D&H once they got a few years into their takeover, there were relatively few of the ex MILW "bandit patch" engines seen here. This one has been sold to Helm, and is southbound on a 261 at BX. Today's train has 10 stack platforms and 51 TOFC.

Running solo
Title:  Running solo
Description:  Sometimes-not often, because despite the mostly river running, there were a couple of stiff grades on the line-trains would run with a single unit. Todays 252, the HAN job, headed to the NYSW and Jersey was one such train. I didnt get a car count on this train, but its already made the hard part of the trip, and should have an easy roll into Binghamton. The hoppers at left are sitting in the NYSEG Hickling Station, which had a capacity of about 12 cars on its siding. It was not one of the more efficient plants, and would soon be closed.

Growing up
Title:  Growing up
Description:  Earlier this year, I shot BUOI here in a spring scene with the forsythia in bloom, and the green trees still short. Theyre getting bigger, now starting to obscure the train. In a couple of years, theyll make a photo here impossible. A GATX leader has what looks like is an 892 coal train. Note the PLM unit. It is in an SD45 carbody, and was one of the EMD test bed units for the 645 engine in the 1960's.
