Morning regular
Title:  Morning regular
Description:  One of the usual features of the mornings activity at East Binghamton was the arrival of 41T, which came through the yard and onto NS Southern Tier Line, typically late morning/mid day. This mornings effort is led by a full body SD 50. Older power was not unusual, and we saw a fairly steady stream of wide cab SD 40s and cowl units.
