Multi modal |
| Description: |
Not in the way youd expect. 30T sits at the ex DLW station waiting for a crew, while a Broome Transit bus crosses overhead on Chenango St. Its either a 28-Robinson St or 40-Chenango St; both use Chenango out of downtown, with the 28 turning onto Robinson to head to the end of the line at the Binghamton Psych Center. The 28 was good for seeing the action at Bevier St, since it also did a loop up Broad Av in both directions. Many a morning I watched NS 206 while on that run. The bus is one of the 23 Orion 6 coaches acquired by BC Transit in 2000. |

OIBU in the late afternoon |
| Description: |
OIBU was a pretty reliable afternoon train at Binghamton, which made for some great lighting, such as on todays train, working QD yard. The steel structire at right is a Marconi tower. The Lackawanna RR was an early experimenter with radio communication, and had erected the tower to transmit from the station to trains in 1913. There is a NY State historical marker to note its significance. |

BUAL |
| Description: |
Conrail changed the symbol on its train running the Lehigh Line several times over the years. For a while in the early 90s it was BUAL, originating at Frontier Yard in Buffalo, running the Tier to Waverly, down the connection to Sayre, then east on the ex LV to Allentown. Here it is rolling 69 cars into Gang Mills, seen from the overpass at the west end of the yard. Thats NY 417/US 15 in the distance, an expressway that connected with NY 17 at Gang Mills, and ended just south of the exit for Addison. Now it is part of I 99, running on the alignment of US 15 all the way to Williamsport. |
