NS 206
Title:  NS 206
Description:  Even though you can't see it in this photo, the crew has brought a short string of cars here to CP's Conklin yard. From here they'll go back "light-power" to the rest of their train that is occupying one of the main tracks of the Southern-tier a few miles west of here. They will then hook back up to that train and procede north on the D&H as the 938.

 Yard/main Binghamton
Title:  Yard/main Binghamton
Description:  Left to right.....NS #2671 tied down. Susquehanna's "dead fleet" with blue lease units beyond them. Westbound mixed freight led by NS #6663. Light power (NS 8980 & 9404) to the immediate right of the mixed freight moving towards us to hook-up to a train that I think they brought in from Buffalo. NS 8980 & 9404 are returning from Conklin yard where they dropped a short string of loaded intermodal cars. After hooking back up to the balance of the train they left on the main, they'll then head north-west on the old D&H!

NS power heading up the D&H
Title:  NS power heading up the D&H
Description:  It's fun to watch all the maneuvering that goes on in this town! I don't know how well the railroads like it, but anyway; from what we could tell, these two engines came into town from Buffalo as NS 206........cut a short string of loaded intermodal cars off the front of the train, ran them over to Conklin yard, came back and hooked-up to what was left, and then headed up the D&H as CP train 938!

The 938
Title:  The 938
Description:  This train will be here for an hour or more before it will move north on the D&H because the 253 will eventually run ahead of it today.
