Having completed his climb over Belden Hill, D&H 413 is seen screaming downgrade about to pass the signal and detector at MP 596.5.
What appears to be a D22 local sits in the remains of the D&H's old Bevier St. Yard in Binghamton.
It was rumored that GTI and NS cops would be shadowing this train. I saw them both! This is the last shot I got, since I've never chased a train in the AM south on the H Line before - all my 'norm... (more)
In a dire need of a shot to show some 'location' that this train is actually on the N&W, I came up with the zoom shot of the O56 passing the SB signal at Shenandoah Jct. There was a mass of peopl... (more)
Now heading south (both by geographic and RR terms) the symbol of the GTI OCS has changed to O56. At this point, this train is traveling probably 60 MPH. Happily, for me, he ran into so speed re... (more)
The 'westbound' Guilford Office Car Special is seen at the site of the former CP HAGER interlocking, which still had a diamond with CSX's lead to the South Yard in 2000.

Yesterday, we shipped out 5 dimensional loads on the UBHF. These are old cement kiln parts bound for Mexico.
Taken from the EDGE of the farmer's field, the UBHF grinds it's way uphill. Lets all wave to Dan!
Waiting for a crew to take it east, NYS&W train SU-100 sits in Kirkwood, NY with 3 of the ex-QCM MLW/ALCOs, 2 NYS&W SD45s and an NYS&W GP20 for power.
D&H/CP train 165 creeps (10 MPH restriction) over the popular Haprursville Bridge on his way to Montreal.
D&H 931, with a solid set of CN power, manages to get a little sun on it for this shot at Bainbridge, NY.
