Coal empties on the Vestal Spur |
| Description: |
By the 1980s there was little traffic on the Vestal Spur, except for National Pipe and Plastic, which was the last customer on the Vestal side of the river; and NYSEG's Goudy Station in Johnson City. Here WABH 11 is pulling empties past the abandoned factories of Johnson City. This was once the 70 MPH DL&W main line. |

Big power for a tie train |
| Description: |
Conrails MOW trains typically got 4 axle power, except for rail and stone, which were heavy. It was a surprise to see this tie train running east with an SD on the point. |

Unlikely meet |

Anywhere else, this would be impossible. In Binghamton, its a daily event. OIBU passes a C 430 as it slows to work the yard here. Only 16 C 430s were built. At one point, NYSW had five of them. |

Working the yard |
| Description: |
WABH 11 works at Liberty St, shoving a cut into the yards east end. This was a five day job, though I dont know how they found enough work to do. There were not many customers left here. National Pipe and NYSEG on the Vestal Spur; Agway, Frito Lay, and several in Kirkwood at the industrial park. Occasionally theyd go to Endicott if they had a car for Akel Wholesale Grocery in Johnson City, which was not that often. How about that ICG box behind the power. |

Back from Vestal |
| Description: |
WABH 11 rolls toward the DLW station as it returns with empty covered hoppers from National Pipe in Vestal on the old DLW main, since 1959 reduced to a single track dead end beyond Binghamtons west side. Cool advertizing on the building. Note the railfan chase vehicle. I tried to take jobs that allowed me to watch trains while working. Delivering uniforms worked really well in this regard. |

Rare bird |
| Description: |
Really rare. Conrail had four U36Bs, units built for Auto Train that the car carrier could not pay for, so CR picked them up. They were based at Selkirk and used almost exclusively on the Hudson(I frequently saw them at Fresh Pond on the LIRR) and River Lines. They almost never ran anywhere else. Finding one in Binghamton was highly unusual, but, as sometimes happens with things that "never happen", here it is. |

Making more |
| Description: |
"Eat all you want, we'll make more," was the ad line for Doritos. WABH 11 works the Frito Lay plant at Kirkwood. The plant here made Doritos; the local is switching in some grain cars, enabling them to make more of the snack food that keeps railfans going on those long chases. |

Nowhere else but... |
| Description: |
The station and classic Kilmer Building in the background make it obvious this could only be Binghamton. An MOW train behind an SD 50 rolls past the classic DLW station on what was once the westbound main. Phoebe, this aint!! |

Busy place |
| Description: |
Despite not being nearly the busy place it was during EL years, there were times in the late 80s and early 90s when there could be quite a bit of action. Today we have some of it as a BUAB with NYSW and D&H power holds track 2, waiting to crossover and take the Buffalo Runner at QD, while a ballast train heads for tie up on the DLW main. |

Sunny day |
| Description: |
Sunny days in the winter usually meant cold. The week between Christmas and New Years in 1989 lived up to that reputation, being one of the coldest weeks of the year. It didnt matter much to this TV 203, running right on time at BD. |

Waiting |
| Description: |
Sometimes you cant get a break. OIBU has pulled up to the signal at BD, and now waits for local WABH 11 to get out of the yard, cross over to track 2 and clear the plant, before it can get downtown to do its work. The trailing unit, 6840, is one of three SD 60 demonstrators CR acquired, the others were CR 6841 and 6842, ahead of the order from EMD. |
