Going away |
| Description: |
There were two sets of consecutive units on this train. The leaders were a pair of U23s, now a pair of ex Reading GP 39s. This was a typical power set in the mid 80s. |

Ex D&H U23 |
| Description: |
When Guilford took over the D&H, they moved much of the power around their roster, with the D&H units being most affected. An example of that is the two units leading this train. Once D&H U23Bs, they are now lettered for the Maine Central. It became a sore point at the D&H that Guilford kept all the newer power when it let the D&H go in 1988. |

Guilford trio |
| Description: |
BUME behind three Guilford painted units rolls along the rock wall next to NY 17 just east of Corning with 48 cars. This was a challenging shot for an eastbound, as you had to stand on the shoulder of westbound NY 17, an expressway. Timing had to be good, as you could not stop here long. I got it right this sunny morning, catching three Guilford units, one each for the component roads, though the leader and trailing units had been "transferred" away from the D&H. |

| Title: |
BUME with Guilford power |
| Description: |
This view of BUME behind a solid set of Guilford power is notable for two reasons. First, a solid set of power on the D&H was notable any time it happened, though Guilford still managed to mix up the power, with one unit from each of their roads. Interestingly, the first and last units started out on the D&H, despite now being lettered for MEC and B&M. The other reason is that this shot gives an overview of the rail remnants of Corning as they appeared in the late 1980s. This is taken from the NY 414 overpass, looking west. The train is on the former Erie main, which is a relocation of the original main which ran down what is now NY 352 through downtown Corning. The "new" 1951 Erie station was just to the left of the train where it curves out of the photo. The empty right of way to the right of the train was the DLW, which was abandoned in stages between here and Buffalo following the EL merger in 1960; as it was, the line had only a year left as a through route after the consolidation of facilities in 1959, where the DLW abandoned much of its line from here to Binghamton in favor of running on the Erie. The connection was just east of the overpass Im standing on. The line in the distance is the connection from Conrails Corning Secondary, once the NYC line to Jersey Shore PA, itself relocated out of the street as part of the Erie relocation project in 1951-the lines had joined just east of downtown. It will join the Southern Tier at CP W Glass about 1/2 mile to the west, approximately where the Erie station stood. |
