Headed for the yard |
| Description: |
Sometimes MEBU or BUME would go into East Binghamton. Such is the case today as the train has rolled onto track 5 and is headed for BD. In 15 minutes it will be across the river and in the yard. We also have an unusual unit today, ex BN 6592, an SDP 45. This one is ex GN, built in a late pre-Amtrak time when the railroads were planning to use these diesels for freight when finally relieved of running passenger trains. |

All 45's. |
| Description: |
PYRP starts out of East Binghamton, the train having been worked here, and NYSW power put on. The CSX or NS power it came in with from the south will turn here and go back on the next RPPY. The train has a full complement of 45's today, including an F 45 and SDP 45. |

A 45 and an SDP |
| Description: |
MEBU has cut off its train at Bevier St and will take the power to East Binghamton. The NYSW SD 45s were familiar sights in this era, the SDP 45s with actual steam generators(EL had 'em without the passenger equipment, they just wanted the longer frame for a bigger fuel tank), were unusual. The trailing unit is one of them, an ex GN unit now part of NRLs lease fleet. |

Going away view |
| Description: |
A train of empty hoppers is rolling west out of the Lamberts Point yard behind a set of power that was already classic by then, including an ex EL SDP45 that had come back to NS from Conrail when the lease expired. It was one of the units financed by Dereco in the late 60s. |

Dead line |
| Description: |
There will be a bunch of these. The Enola dead line abounded with all kinds of diesels in the mid 80s. I took several photos from points along US 11/15 hoping to capture some of the power that would soon be going to its final rest. Some nuits still wore their pre Conrail garb-note the ex EL GP 35 to the right rear. |

Dead Line |
| Description: |
Retired units awaiting the end. That EL hopper in the foreground must be counting its blessings, as two of its former locomotive colleagues, a U36C and SDP45, are headed for the gallows. |

Ex EL unit |
| Description: |
The Erie Lackawanna bought a group of SDP45s with no steam generators, so they could get the 5000 gallon fuel tanks. They made it into Conrail, but went back to lessor NS when the lease was up. I caught this one from the Cardinal on the way out of Chicago. |
