Pool power
Title:  Pool power
Description:  Well not exactly. LIRR had some work done on several units at Super Steel Schenectady. They were routed home via a roundabout trip through Binghamton. Heres one trailing on 252, about to enter East Binghamton. This is probably one of the more unlikely combinations: SOO and LIRR lashed up.

I always got a kick out of this
Title:  I always got a kick out of this
Description:  There were several NS trains that ran on CP south of Binghamton. One of them was 41T, an Enola-Toronto train that came up through CPs East Binghamton yard before gaining the NS Southern Tier Line at BD. It usually had CN power, and I loved the irony of the competitor using the same tracks. It was even better when 41T would run through as CP was getting one of their own trains out. Today is one of those days, as CP 419's power is moving onto the 1 runner from the north end of the shop, as 41T rolls its 75 cars through the yard behind a solid set of CN units.

On Wisconsin
Title:  On Wisconsin
Description:  Wisconsin Central in this case. Train 41T makes its way through East Binghamton as it heads toward BD and home rails for the trip to Buffalo with a GP 40-2 in the mix. Seeing various component roads in the mix was not taht unusual-the next unit is a repainted IC unit-but the WC power tended to be SD 45's, and four axle power was not that common. Todays train has 31 cars.

Title:  Knock, knock , knocking on heavens door
Description:  Well, not exactly heaven, but probably a quit. D 22 has returned from its run south with an even dozen cars, and is waiting at Terrace Dr for clearance into the yard. The rebuilt GP 9s are a staple on this job.

All kinds of stuff
Title:  All kinds of stuff
Description:  You never knew what would show up for power on 13T; it could be just about anything, from top of the line new power, to whatever NS had in Buffalo that would run, and off line power was not uncommon. Sometimes the home road diesels were pretty interesting, such as on todays effort, an ex CR GP 15-1 leading an NS only B32-8 and an ex NW GP 38AC. All of these units were getting to be unusual by this time. The real surprise is a GP 15 on a road train. Conrail acquired 100 of these engines from EMD in 1979; they were used systemwide on locals and yard jobs, rarely going on the road on symbol freights.

GP 38 going north
Title:  GP 38 going north
Description:  There was a spate of GP 38s going north on 413 during this time. Not sure why the exodus, and they seemed to lead most of the time. One is on the point of todays 413 as it rolls through the north end crossovers to head for BD and a trip north. Check out that second unit, an ex SOO SD 40 in Golden Rodent paint.
