Description:  Local H12 approaches the now removed Lumber st bridge at the east end of Gang Mills with salt cars for the mine north of Ithaca on the ex LV. It will take the ex Erie to Waverly, then down the connection to the ex LV at Sayre, change ends, and run to Ludlowville on the Ithaca Branch. The ex Erie engine facility is at left, and that's US15 and NY 417 to the right of the train.

I miss October in NY
Title:  I miss October in NY
Description:  I moved to Arkansas the year after I took this, where the fall colors are, to put it mildly, lackluster. There are few things I miss about living in NY; the color that could erupt in the fall is one of them. We see empty coal train 527 coming around the curve at MP 231 behind a power set that is colorful in its own right.

12T on the DL side
Title:  12T on the DL side
Description:  A short(17 car) train 12T behind among other things, a pair of ex CR units, waits for a crew at Binghamton late in the day. This photo gives a good overview of the changes that have taken place in the DL&W station area over the years, and some things that have not changed as well. The train sits on the Johnson Running track, once track 1 on the DLW main, and designated Track 3 by EL. To the right, track DL4, once EL track 4 and originally DLWs eastbound main track 2, now is lifted over the Chenango River. West of the Susquehanna, the line is a walking trail through Vestal, and forms most of the right of way for NY 17 west to Elmira. At lower right, the station platforms are still in place, though deteriorating. The shed over the set out tracks is also still in place, though those tracks, which once served to hold set out sleepers and mail/express, and in later years equipment owned by the Susquehanna Valley RHS, are now "land locked", the switches to the main tracks removed during the construction of the baseball stadium, which is seen at right of the train. The stadium where the AA Binghamton Mets play, is on the site of the DLW freight house, and saw its first game in April 1992. To the right of the set out tracks is the stack for the station power house. The power house sits to the left of the stack, partly obscured by foliage. Partly visible at the right edge of the photo is a steel tower that was one of the original Marconi installations, now an engineering landmark. To the left of the train, the brick building and vehicles beyond it sit on the site of the Erie freighthouse, torn down several years earlier.

13T meets Grinstein
Title:  13T meets Grinstein
Description:  13T waits for a recrew at QD behind a pair of BNSF Grinstein green SD70s. They were not typically seen off coal trains, never mind on the east coast, so this was a treat. As usual, clouds ruled the day. In a twist of irony, I would see this unit again in 15 years, freshly repainted in the BNSF "Swoosh" scheme, as the DPU on an empty Texas Gulf Utilities train at Gravette Ark, on the KCS.

Southbound empty coal
Title:  Southbound empty coal
Description:  From time to time, NS would send coal to the D&H via Harrisburg. On CP these would be symbolled 8858 north and 8859 south, with varying symbols on NS, though Ive seen 87T and 88T used. Here we see one of the 8859 trains crossing "baby Tunkhannock" more properly known as Martins Creek Viaduct south of Kingsley PA, with a pair of UP leaders.

Downsized
Title:  Downsized
Description:  The area between the Erie and Lackawanna mains was once occupied by the large Erie freight house, a relic of the bygone days of LCL freight. It lasted a lot longer than it was useful, til Conrail tore it down in the run up to NS takeover in 1999. The building there now is loosely based on the Erie structure, now housing an office for the yard and local crews that work here. We see H 88 behind a typical GE and less typical GP 50 arriving with cars for the NYSW.

NS 205
Title:  NS 205
Description:  A very late NS 205 rolls west in the Canisteo valley. Normally this train is out of Binghamton in the late afternoon, getting through this area well after dark. It was about 12 hours off its regular time this day.

Snow on the rocks
Title:  Snow on the rocks
Description:  12T blasts past one of my favorite Binghamton area spots, the rock wall at MP 220 in Endwell. Not much, but just enough to show a little ruggedness.

Local rolling through Goodrich Settlement
Title:  Local rolling through Goodrich Settlement
Description:  There was a small place just west of Owego called Goodrich Settlement, reached by a road off NY 17C. As you went down toward the tracks, there was a panoramic view of the valley. We see H 88, the train that forwarded cars to the NYSW, rolling east here behind a pair of GEs.

Six axles on the DLW
Title:  Six axles on the DLW
Description:  Conrail restricted the Vestal Spur, the one time DLW main segment from West BD to Vestal, to four motor power. NS, on the other hand, had no problem sending heavy power down to Goudy. We see one such train returning to Binghamton. Once there, it will go south as an 888 back to the mines in western PA.
