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. |

Lotsa power |
| Description: |
Five units lead this 13T in the gloom of a December afternoon, approaching Hiawatha Rd. It's an interesting power set: four older GE's, including a C36-7, and a GP 50. Ten years prior, this would be first string power. |

Down the Lehigh |
| Description: |
H 12, an Elmira based local that works to Sayre, rolls past the home signals at Waverly, taking the Lehigh Secondary toward the ex LV. The trailing unit is for operational flexibility, desirable in this case due to the way the tracks are configured. It will save a couple of run around moves through the course of the day. The GP 50, once the backbone of the high priority fleet on the Southern, has come down a few notches since its glory days of the 1980s. |

Interesting leader |
| Description: |
One of the things about the non priority trains was that they got some of the second tier power, i.e. not a GE wide cab, though there were so many of those just about every train had them, including locals. A case in point is this 12T passing under the Campville-Apalachin bridge with a GP 50 leading. These ex Southern units were one time stars, handling hot trains in the Piedmont. |

Different |
| Description: |
The D&H, as a condition of the Conrail merger, got access to a number of points in the northeast to foster some level of competition. One of them was Potomac Yard in Alexandria VA, which served to make connections with Southern, now NS, and Chessie, as well as the RF&P. All those would eventually go into CSX. Power from the connections ran through, so it was not unusual to see CSX and NS component diesels on RPPY and PYRP. We see RPPY heading for Virginia on the ex Reading, with the usual CSX and NS power, among them an ex SCL GP 40. It was a daily event, but decidedly different from the steady diet of blue provided by Conrail. |
