One of the runby locations was at Tully, where we lined up along a baseball field to get an open shot as the rain pelted us.

True to form for the Tier, the weather for the trip I rode was dreadful, cold and rainy. I rode Sunday's trip, originating in Syracuse. They ran a couple of runbys along the way, one in Tully, the other here at Lisle. We see the train smoking it up as it comes out from under the I 81 overpass. The photo line is standing on the flood wall that keeps the Tioghnioga River from periodically inundating Lisle and Whitney Point. The NYSW was optimistic by putting the 4006 as lead diesel. This is the unit that crunched a dump truck at a grade crossing during the 1988 NRHS convention.

The Saturday SB&NY trip rolls north past the NY 392 crossing as supervisors in an NYSW truck monitor its progress.

The trip that originated in Binghamton on Saturday rolls along the Tioghnioga River near Marathon in fall splendor.

The Syracuse Binghamton & NY anniversary train along the Tioghnioga River north of Marathon

In 2004, the NYSW ran a pair of Syracuse-Binghamton trips to mark the 150th anniversary of predecessor Syracuse Binghamton & NY. They ran Binghamton/Syracuse and return on Saturday, the opposite on Sunday, with the 142, M&E FL9s and a couple of NYSW units. Heres Saturdays train crossing the Chenango River. I must have been running out on the NY 12A bridge ank just made the shot, its a little off level.
