D&H 5017 gives a cut of cars a good shove past the yard tower in East Binghamton. The tower gives away the DLW heritage of this facility. |

D&H 7409 is showing its past as Reading 3409, its paint fading back to the green and yellow it once was. The Reading herald is trying to make a resurgence on the nose as well. Bevier St with a cut of hoppers. |

It never stops |
| Description: |
NYSW had a way of putting together some power combinations youd never see anywhere else. Sometimes it happened in the yard, though often youd see them on the road too. This set was one only the Susie Q could come up with, at East Binghamton. |

NYK stacks |
| Description: |
One of the several double stack train that NYSW ran was for NYK. Trains were symbolled NY 7 west and NY 8 east. This is NY 8 coming into East Binghamton on track 3 from Buffalo. It will get a crew change, and likely add cars for the Southern Division here. Once that is complete, it will back out through BD onto the Tier for the trip east. |

Still around |
| Description: |
U30Cs were getting hard to find by the late 80s. UP had retired most of theirs, as had Santa Fe, though BNs soldiered on in coal service. D&Hs own were long gone by this time. This CSX unit strayed up from the south, finding its way to East Binghamton on PYRP. I can count on the fingers of one hand the U30Cs I saw here, so this was a good catch. |

Power to head south |
| Description: |
RPPY and PYRP ran with a mix of CSX and NS power south of Binghamton, though it was usually one or the other, and rarely mixed. This time its NS power, a representative example seen here at the fuel rack. Where else but Binghamton could you find EMD, GE, and Alco all coupled to each other?? |

Another old friend |
| Description: |
D&H 5017 was the usual engine working the yard at Binghamton, but a couple of the other RS 36s got in the action as well. Here we see 5009 working a cut of cars with another of Binghamtons odd pieces of rolling stock, NYSW caboose 0121. The old Alco still has some life yet, judging by the plume of smoke. |

| Description: |
D&H 5017 works a cut of cars as todays prize, the power for RPPY, sits next to the tower. I got lucky today-RPPY went south shortly after this was taken, and I was able to chase to Scranton. Another piece of vanished railroading is in this photo: the D&H box car next to 5017. |

One of the projects NYSW engaged during its reign over the D&H was to have some of the GP 38s and 39s rebuilt by M-K at Mountain Top PA. The first one to be completed, ex LV unit 7312, was back on the property in March of 1990, and named in honor of legendary D&H engineer Bernie OBrien. We see a side view of the unit outside the East Binghamton engine shop. |

Switching and a classic |
| Description: |
The rail action here is pretty normal, a GP39-2 working in front of the yard tower. The real treat here is the D&H MOW truck. What a classic!! There's a speeder in there for those of you who like MOW equipment, too. |

The gangs all here |
| Description: |
There is quite the crowd at the East Binghamton fuel pad today. NYSW and/D&H units bracket a new arrival, a GP39-2 rebuilt at M-K Mountaintop. This was a program undertaken by NYSW to update several units and repaint them into the D&H lighning |tripe scheme. Two other 39s were done, 7403 and 7407, as well as several GP38-2s. The power at left will go out shortly on PYRP. |

Something old, something new |
| Description: |
The newly rebuilt 7407 sits at the fuel pad, while 1963 built 5017 switches a few tracks over, showing signs that it still has some life in it, as only an Alco can. |

Crossing over |
| Description: |
PYRP has made it out the north end of the yard, and is now about to cross over the Tier at BD, starting its trip through!Bevier St, and on up to Belden tunnel. The track on the diagonal from where the train is, on the ex DLW, to the Southern Tier Line, is the connecting track used by most trains going west on the Tier, though they can also come in and out by staying on the track PYRP is on now through the DLW station area. |

Reading roster |
| Description: |
E caught both green ex Reading units this day, the other, 7410, going north on PYRP. This roster view was taken at the fuel pad. Still looks good for 14 years of no new paint-not that anyone minded. |

Big deal |
| Description: |
There was a time when a pair of Alcos such as this was not totally unusual, though there with only 16 C430s built, they did not widely mix. By 1990, ANY Alco was a notable sighting. Here we have two of the more unusual models, a C 400, and a high hood, steam generator equipped C 420, basking in the sun at East Binghamton. |

Odd visitor |
| Description: |
Another one of those "bigfoot and the Easter bunny" combinations, one that "wont ever happen," is here at Binghamton on BUME, about to hit BD and head for the yard. A North Shore CF 7, probably here for more extensive work than its home shop can do, trails the NYSW leader. |
