Dec 1981 - Mechanicville Yard - BM 313 EMD GP40-2 Serial # 776025-14 Built 12/1977 & BM 209 EMD GP38-2 Serial # 73636-9 Built 12/1973 Both in Blue
209 leading train under Starrucca most likely train with 303 and 207
A D&H w/b Belden Hill detour train waits for a CR e/b at SR in Lanesboro PA with three B&M units on 29SEP1985
A side view of the train seen at a more head on angle elsewhere. I believe this is JET 1, which was typically overpowered, probably in hopes there would be enough units still running at the end of the trip to get it into the terminal.
My notes dont show what train this is, but it was parked at Bevier St. At the time, JET 1 was the only train that did not yard at East Binghamton, so Im guessing this is JET 1 waiting on a crew. In a nice touch, the leader is one of the B&Ms last order of new power, GP40-2 303.
A 270 has left the yard and is about to cross over the Southern Tier at BD and head for Mechanicville, pushing the snow as it goes.
