556 rolling on down |
| Description: |
Train 556 rolls across Phelps St in Port Dickinson, almost at its destination of Binghamton. There the train will get switched, and a newly worked over 556 will most likely get NS power and head south. |

This bridge would be removed a few years hence, and the NY 7 bridge would be replaced by a more modern structure with shoulders, making photos from there a lot easier. |

Old power rules |
| Description: |
One of the remaining D&H RS 36s rolls a 556 south across the diamond at BD as it heads into East Binghamton. The RS 36s did not see the road often at this point, and it would have been a very unlikely leader, though CP was not shy about running Alcos in regular service. My guess is the crew on this train came down with the PLM unit leading, and was on short time. If there was no room at the inn, the East Binghamton yardmaster likely had him tie up at Bevier St and taxied the crew to the yard. Then 5022 was sent over to get the train once there was space. |

This segment of it was abandoned as part of the project that raised the overpasses at Beview St. The NYSW, who now uses the line, runs on the D&H to a point just north of here, reaching its own line via a new connecting track. |

Phosphates north |
| Description: |
CSX originated a lot of phosphates in the Bone Valley area near Tampa Fla, occasionally sending a train to Montreal via the D&H. The power usually ran through, giving us a chance to see CSX units going north. The northbound trains ran as a unit train, symbolled 751. There was no southbound counterpart, as the cars came back in regular trains as they were emptied. The power ran back on the next availabe train once it reached Canada. This train is heading through Bevier St toward the tunnel now that it has met the SLN 4 at BD. |

Front end helper |
| Description: |
Typically the helpers on Belden Hill would be pushing on the rear, making for an easy cutoff at the tunnel, which is behind me. For some reason, this 84 car 892 train got its helper running long hood in the lead. Must have been a beast going up, though an easy ride coming back. MP 599, to the left of the train, is the mileage from Mattawamkeag Maine, where MEC meets the one time CP line from Montreal to St John NB. |

By 1992, SOO power on 390/391 trains had become pretty commonplace, so it was not a big deal to see SOO SD60s leading one, such as this train rolling up the Buffalo Runner to make a run at Belden Hill. The track leading straight into the first car of the train was once the DLW Syracuse and Utica branch, which crossed the D&H here at BX cabin. |

Train 553 rolls through BX in a scene that has some classic New York flavor. Note the Genesee Beer truck between the trailing unit and the first trailer, in the background, a long time upstate NY favorite. On the railroad side, the signal that protected the crossing of the DLW and D&H at BX still stands, its lights long smashed out, but the classic mast is not giving up just yet. |
