Sometimes-not often, because despite the mostly river running, there were a couple of stiff grades on the line-trains would run with a single unit. Todays 252, the HAN job, headed to the NYSW and Jersey was one such train. I didnt get a car count on this train, but its already made the hard part of the trip, and should have an easy roll into Binghamton. The hoppers at left are sitting in the NYSEG Hickling Station, which had a capacity of about 12 cars on its siding. It was not one of the more efficient plants, and would soon be closed. |
