Backing onto their train |
| Description: |
A pair of IMRL units-one an ex NYSW SD45-back into the yard to get their train and head north. I'm standing on the Choteau Trafficway, a great overhead spot to watch the action at the west end of the yard. Note a BNSF coal train in the distance; it will soon be heading south on the KCS. The KCS executive train is also there, top center. |

Rolling in from Buffalo |
| Description: |
BUEB rolls in past the DLW yard tower as it makes its way slowly into the yard, its 70 cars to be worked and put on trains for New England and the south. It was unusual to see a solid set of Guilford power, so this was something of an anomaly. |

Youd never know it |
| Description: |
Spring is only a week in the future, but the winter wont quit. In fact, its not unusual to have snowfall well into April. This BUEB waits out a snow squall at QD, its crew undoubtedly anticipating somewhere warmer than an engine cab in the near future. |

Must be a jet |
| Description: |
My notes dont show what train this is, but it was parked at Bevier St. At the time, JET 1 was the only train that did not yard at East Binghamton, so Im guessing this is JET 1 waiting on a crew. In a nice touch, the leader is one of the B&Ms last order of new power, GP40-2 303. |

Thats a lot of power |
| Description: |
A side view of the train seen at a more head on angle elsewhere. I believe this is JET 1, which was typically overpowered, probably in hopes there would be enough units still running at the end of the trip to get it into the terminal. |

No more siding |

Turning the power |
| Description: |
Sometimes the D&H would need to turn an engine of set of power. There was no working turntable at East Binghamton-the DLWs table had been out of service for years, and it would be after CP took over that a new one would be built-so it would have to be wyed via BD. This set is rolling up to Bevier St, where it will change direction, then head down the Buffalo Runner to QD, then back onto the Tier to head back through town into the yard. |

Only four units today-either it was a light train, or Guilford was getting more confident. |

Jet powered |
| Description: |
Guilford established a pair of trains, JET 1 and JET 2 to make some kind of effort to hasten freight velocity to New England. In an optimistic approach by the marketing types, these were called JET 1 westbound, and JET 2 eastbound. Here we see JET 1 coming through Bevier St with 102 cars. It will take the Buffalo Runner to QD, where a new crew will get on for the trip to Buffalo, avoiding the yard and its interinable terminal delay. |

Hi hood classics |
| Description: |
I dont usually shoot mid consist power, but these NW SD45s were becoming rare, and too good to resist. They were in the consist of BFOA that was parked on track 4 waiting for yard space. Dont recall at this point-almost 30 years later-if they were running or dead in tow. Nice to think they might still be working. |

Road power ready |
| Description: |
Southern still had quite a few SD45s in service in 1984, and we see some here. Second from left is SOU 3129, a unit that seemed to folllow me any time I was in their territory. I had seen it in Greensboro in 1980, and would see it again in Kansas City in 1986. |

Autos arriving |
| Description: |
An auto rack train arrives at Kansas City on the ex Wabash. We have a "family portrait" of NS power here, one unit in NS and one each of the predecessors. The SD45 is not long for the world at this point, nor are the open racks. I had seen the second unit before-on the Southern at Greensboro in 1980. |

Collection of 45s |
| Description: |
MEBU is on the left, with 3 of 4 units from the 45 line, as a set of pushers waits on the right for a northbound going up the hill. As a bonus, we have both NYSW F 45's. It was a good time to be watching the 20 cylinder beasts. Action at the south end of Bevier St. |

Every day is like this |
| Description: |
A wild assortment of power could be found at East Binghamton most days, and this day is like most. The two leased BAR units bracket a GATX lease unit. This trio will go out later as a helper set. The NYSW SD 45s were all over, as were a variety of other leased SD 45s, such as this ex Southern unit from NRL. |
