Onto the double track |
| Description: |
OIBU rolls onto the double track at CP Coles, known as DH on the Erie Lackawanna, and will take track 1 into Binghamton, where it will drop and pick up before heading west. The half dozen R 32's behind the power will go to Elmira Heights for rebuild at Sumirail. |

Unlikely meet |
| Description: |
Anywhere else, this would be impossible. In Binghamton, its a daily event. OIBU passes a C 430 as it slows to work the yard here. Only 16 C 430s were built. At one point, NYSW had five of them. |

Working the yard |
| Description: |
WABH 11 works at Liberty St, shoving a cut into the yards east end. This was a five day job, though I dont know how they found enough work to do. There were not many customers left here. National Pipe and NYSEG on the Vestal Spur; Agway, Frito Lay, and several in Kirkwood at the industrial park. Occasionally theyd go to Endicott if they had a car for Akel Wholesale Grocery in Johnson City, which was not that often. How about that ICG box behind the power. |

Back from Vestal |
| Description: |
WABH 11 rolls toward the DLW station as it returns with empty covered hoppers from National Pipe in Vestal on the old DLW main, since 1959 reduced to a single track dead end beyond Binghamtons west side. Cool advertizing on the building. Note the railfan chase vehicle. I tried to take jobs that allowed me to watch trains while working. Delivering uniforms worked really well in this regard. |

Sunburst |

Not a B&O unit, but the glint off this BUOI arriving at Binghamton on a late afternoon. The spirit of Erie lives on in the oversize load right behind the power. This was an Erie/EL hallmark, and trains often had large loads head out. |

Rare bird |
| Description: |
Really rare. Conrail had four U36Bs, units built for Auto Train that the car carrier could not pay for, so CR picked them up. They were based at Selkirk and used almost exclusively on the Hudson(I frequently saw them at Fresh Pond on the LIRR) and River Lines. They almost never ran anywhere else. Finding one in Binghamton was highly unusual, but, as sometimes happens with things that "never happen", here it is. |

Despite not being nearly the busy place it was during EL years, there were times in the late 80s and early 90s when there could be quite a bit of action. Today we have some of it as a BUAB with NYSW and D&H power holds track 2, waiting to crossover and take the Buffalo Runner at QD, while a ballast train heads for tie up on the DLW main. |

Waiting |
| Description: |
Sometimes you cant get a break. OIBU has pulled up to the signal at BD, and now waits for local WABH 11 to get out of the yard, cross over to track 2 and clear the plant, before it can get downtown to do its work. The trailing unit, 6840, is one of three SD 60 demonstrators CR acquired, the others were CR 6841 and 6842, ahead of the order from EMD. |

Night BUOI |
| Description: |
BUOI is stopped at the office in Binghamton, adjacent to the old Erie freight house. I took the opportunity to get a shot of a rare unit on the Tier, C32-8 6611. These units were almost exclusive to the River and Boston Lines, as they were based out of Selkirk. This one got to Oak Island and strayed. |
