Just a memory |
| Description: |
It was not uncommon for P&LE power to come into Buffalo over the NS on coal trains originating in southwest PA. It had once been common for their power to run into Binghamton, and sometimes on to New England. By this time, P&LE was in trouble, and their power did not venture beyond Buffalo often. Heres a couple of units at SK. Note the D&H plow peeking out behind 2039 |

One of the better looking stations on the Tier was the Erie station at Silver Springs, which was used by the MOW department, and kept in pretty good shape. The diesel, though in battered paint, still looks good, as any Alco did in 1991. |

It was not often that 557 got an all Alco consist, especially six axle units. Thus it was a treat to catch this power set on 557 rolling under the "Welcome to the BC Open" bridge under NY 17C at Endicott. As usual, when I see something good, the weather is dismal. Today's train is a short 11 cars. |

Rare unit |
| Description: |
This MPI unit was leading 557. It was the only time I ever saw one on the CP, though they had a fair sized fleet of lease power. As usual something good runs, the weather is awful. |

Waiting on a crew |
| Description: |
an 891 train waits on the Buffalo Runner for a new crew to take it west to Buffalo on the Tier. Appropriately, the train sits next to the old D&H station. The second unit is noteworthy: it was one of the EMD 645 test beds back in the 60's, from the program that developed the prime mover that eventually was used in several thousand EMD locomotives over the next 15 years. |
