168 heads north |
| Description: |
CP train 168, the run through of NS 206, rolls north at Allen Rd with 111 stack platforms as it heads for Kenwood Yard in Albany. The Capital District yard would be moved to Mechanicville six or seven years after this photo, when a new intermodal facility would be build on the site of the old D&H yard there. |

Bare trees |

Train 168 rolls north through the bare trees at Depot Hill Rd. Its the dead of winter, and it will be may before there are enough leaves on the trees to offset the black of the NS units that handle this train. |

Off the bridge, into the shadows |
| Description: |
Train 164 rolls off the Susquehanna River bridge into Bainbride, the sun dappling the train as it dives into the shadows. The low winter sun really brings out the colors, but makes some locations hard to get in full light. This would be full sun this time of day in the summer. Note the empty right of way where the old northbound track was. |

Through the goalposts |
| Description: |
Not quite, but Id think that every time I saw a train pass between a pair of signals like this. Train 164 rolls south behind a pair of GEs at the old signal 108 just south of Bainbridge. Note the CNJ style numbers on the engine. |

Past the mill |

And almost home. Train 252 rolls past the Agway mill at the south end of Bevier St. All he has to do now is get his 76 cars across the Tier at BD, and he can get into East Binghakton and call it quits for the day. |

Through the trees |
| Description: |
A northbound 8858 coal train grinds up the hill toward the tunnel, peeking out from the trees at Depot Hill Rd. The difference between winter and summer is apparent here. In the winter, you can see the train stretched out down the hill. In the summer, hardly at all. |
