168 heads north |
| Description: |
CP train 168, the run through of NS 206, rolls north at Allen Rd with 111 stack platforms as it heads for Kenwood Yard in Albany. The Capital District yard would be moved to Mechanicville six or seven years after this photo, when a new intermodal facility would be build on the site of the old D&H yard there. |

Bare trees |
| Description: |
Train 168 rolls north through the bare trees at Depot Hill Rd. Its the dead of winter, and it will be may before there are enough leaves on the trees to offset the black of the NS units that handle this train. |

Looking from up the hill |
| Description: |
Theres a decent morning shot from just north of the old stone arch bridge over NY 7 in Sanitaria Springs, where the line crosses over the road as it heads up to the tunnel. Train 168 rolls 111 platforms over the road as it digs into the steep part of the climb. |

Big power for a local |
| Description: |
NS was not shy about putting top of the line power on locals and switch jobs. Where CR was using GP 38s and B23s on their locals, and later GP 40s, NS almost always had C40-8s assigned. It was fun watching a six axle GE working the Agway mill on somewhat shaky rail, or down the Vestal Spur, though they did ultimately do some serious track rehab on it around 2003. Here we have a pair of six axles on H 88, a turn job from Gang Mills to Binghamton, with mostly NYSW interchange. The leader is one of the thousand C40's on NS, but the trailing unit is an almost new SD70M-2, a unit youd more typically expect on 206. |

Big power from two roads |
| Description: |
Top of the line power leads H 88 toward Binghamton. The BNSF unit was not the typical power on this train, though there were several units that stayed on this job for several months that year. |

By the detector |
| Description: |
H 88 with a BNSF leader passes the detector at MP 223.2 on track 2. In the background at right is one of the many Endicott Johnson buildings that were once part of an extensive shoe making operation, that is now only a memory. |

H 88 splits the signals |
| Description: |
H 88 behind a BNSF/NS duo passes between the signals at MP 224 in Endicott. The signal on track 2 had been recently replaced, taking the place of the last semaphore on the Tier, signal 224-2, which was about 1/4 mile to the west. |
