Odd visitor
Title:  Odd visitor
Description:  Another one of those "bigfoot and the Easter bunny" combinations, one that "wont ever happen," is here at Binghamton on BUME, about to hit BD and head for the yard. A North Shore CF 7, probably here for more extensive work than its home shop can do, trails the NYSW leader.

Out to pasture
Title:  Out to pasture
Description:  The Delta Southern ran a former MP branch line from McGehee Ark to Tallulah LA, but ultimately wasnt able to make a go of it. A new operator, North Louisiana & Arkansas now handles what traffic there is. These ex ATSF CF 7s, their heritage showing through, were pushed out into the weeds awaiting and uncertain fate.
