DLW side
Title:  DLW side
Description:  MEBU, looking like NYSW has a pool with BN, rolls west on track 3, the former DLW westbound main, passing the DLW station on the right, and the Erie freight house on the left. The station is still standing, serving multiple purposes for new owners. The freight house was torn down several years later, and replaced with a small building used by local crews. Track 3 was sometimes used if there was traffic on the Erie main between BD and West BD. Also in this view, we see the station power plant, the low brick building with the concrete stack; and the Marconi tower, an early effort at radio communications. The Lackawanna got into radio early, due to the weather related issues with lineside wires that came with the heavy winters in the region.

A 45 and an SDP
Title:  A 45 and an SDP
Description:  MEBU has cut off its train at Bevier St and will take the power to East Binghamton. The NYSW SD 45s were familiar sights in this era, the SDP 45s with actual steam generators(EL had 'em without the passenger equipment, they just wanted the longer frame for a bigger fuel tank), were unusual. The trailing unit is one of them, an ex GN unit now part of NRLs lease fleet.

Title:  Digging in
Description:  BH 1 rolls north toward Phelps St on the NYSWs former DLW line as daylight fades. The grade is not as heavy as on the D&H a little farther up the hill, but it still gives trains a workout here, as the smoke from both units shows.
