Dead line
Title:  Dead line
Description:  There was a line of parked power north of Huntsville in Springdale. All of the units in it had been moved there from the area around the office and shop. This is look at the south end of the line. Im assuming its a dead line since none of that power has been in service in a long time.

Queen of the RS 11s
Title:  Queen of the RS 11s
Description:  The D&H lighning stripe scheme is well loved by fans, but perhaps the most elegant paint job was on RS 11 5002, which had a script "Delaware & Hudson" spelled out below the road number. When the paint was fresh and clean, it looked really good. In its later years, it became something of a hangar queen, spending more time at the shop than working the yard. I caught it this day outside the shop, once again out of service.

Another old friend
Title:  Another old friend
Description:  D&H 5017 was the usual engine working the yard at Binghamton, but a couple of the other RS 36s got in the action as well. Here we see 5009 working a cut of cars with another of Binghamtons odd pieces of rolling stock, NYSW caboose 0121. The old Alco still has some life yet, judging by the plume of smoke.

Still some Alcos
Title:  Still some Alcos
Description:  The Alco fleet did not have a long tenure on CR, as they almost immediately set out to make their roster all EMD or GE, once they got a handle on what they had and sorted out the worst power. Six axle Alcos tended to stay on the Cleveland ore trains, with the four axle power at various points around the system, a lot of times not too far from home. This is an example, an ex PRR unit working at Kearny.
