Making the swap |
| Description: |
CP 1810 and Tioga Central 62 swap gas cars at Owego in TCs yard. The line at left is Conrail's ex EL Southern Tier Line. The through truss crosses Owego Creek. The Tioga Central unit is on the ex Lehigh Valley Auburn Branch, which left the LV main at Sayre, running alongside the EL from there to Owego. D&H and LV had an interchange train that operated via that route to Owego, then over the EL to Binghamton, alternately with LV power and D&H power. A lot of interesting units showed up on it, including the D&H sharks. |

Lightning stripe in the snow. |
| Description: |
One of D 22s other assignments was to run the Owego & Harford interchange to Owego twice a week, part of the trackage rights that D&H received as a condition of Conrails start up. A variety of power ran these trains over the years, including a wide variety of Alcos. By 2003 the Alcos were gone, but you could still find interesting power on the train. Here we see it head west from the new bridge connecting NY 17C to NY 17 across the river at Apalachin. |

| Description: |
D 22 crosses over from track 1 to 2 to the Buffalo Runner as it heads up to Bevier St behind a pair of lightning stripe GP 38s from the M-K rebuild a dozen years earlier. The City of Binghamton had done some rehab work on the overpass a few years earlier and put up a chain link fence, which limited the ability to take photos from it. The mesh was tight enough that this was the result. |

This was the Holy Grail of Mills Job power-a pair of D&H painted GP 38s. It happened fairly often, you just had to be there to see it, though a lot of the time there would be a red unit in the set. I caught SU 2 at Miller Beach Rd, about two miles from their target downtown, with two lightning stripes and a dozen or so cars. |

| Description: |
D 22 was the former SU 2 that worked the local freight in the Binghamton area. Two days a week it went to Owego to interchange with the Owego & Harford, primarily salt and LP gas. Sometimes it made the trip lite power one direction. So it is this day, with a pair of the D&H GP 38-2s |

Power of D22 was most often a pair of GP38s in the 7300 series, former LV units, though occasionally a rebuilt GP 9 would get in. In the early years of CPs rule, RX 18s were common, as were RS 36s from the D&H itself. Heres D&H 7304 and one of the STLH painted GP9s seen from the new bridge at Campville. |

Going for a pick up |

Sometimes there were no cars to go to Owego & Harford, but they had to pick up empties. Most of the cars were LPG tanks, and needed a spacer between them and the power. This is the case today as a pair of units with an empty hopper rolls west at Hayes Av in Endicott. |

All present and accounted for. |
| Description: |
The two jobs that will interchange with the Owego & Harford met at Owego. We see D 22, the Mills Job, coming toward us with a commonplace set of GP 9us. It is meeting NS local H2A(they pick those symbols out of a hat, really) with GP 38 rebuild 5577 on the east end. Between the two trains are a total of five cars. |

D22 with ancient power |
| Description: |
CP local D 22 ran two days per week to an interchange with the Owego & Harford. Todays effort has a pair of rebuilt GP9s for power, the leader in the short lived St Lawrence & Hudson scheme. It is seen outside the former Erie station passing NS local H2A. |

Backing it in |
| Description: |
Upon arrival at Binghamton, D 22 found no room at the inn, so the yardmaster had him back into a track at Bevier St. One of the yard jobs will come over for the cars later. |

This is why you carry your scanner |
| Description: |
I always carried my scanner with me(which, by the way, is illegal in some places, New York among them. See VTL section 397) just in case something turned up. Today was one of those days, as I heard D 22 calling the signal at 216-2. I was on the west side, and able to get into position to get a shot near Lester Av. This is the result, a lightning stripe GP 38 with 12 cars passing under Arch St. |
