RPPY rolls into East Binghamton. The train will be classified here, and sent south. Often, NS and CSX power ran through from Potomac yard, and would take the train south.

A pair of GEs waits to get into Binghamton, doing their best to hide in the fog.
BUAB was usually a heavy train and often got a push up the hill. Today a pair of NW C30s are on the job, shoving north from Bevier St.
This northbound coal train had a mix of power, seen along NY 7 near Bainbridge. Such power consists were common in the NYSW period.
A pair of NW GEs bracket a pair of SD 45s, one an NRL lease unit of Southern heritage, the other one of NYSWs ex BN units, as they lead MEBU under the Lester Av overpass in Johnson City.
BUME arrives with the power it went west with yesterday, except now the C 424 is mid consist. NYSW as a rule got pretty good utilization out of the power it ran, and it was not uncommon to see power go west one day, and come right back.
What can you about this. other than SWEET stuff!
