CR SD50 #6717
Title:  CR SD50 #6717
Description:  Newly delivered SD50 #6717 sits in the Conrail Conway yard waiting for an assignment. Built by EMD in November of 1983, this SD50 model answered the immediate need for power that Conrail had when rail shipping picked up after a slump. After the Conrail breakup, this unit became NS 5411. CR 6701 sits behind #6717. CR conductor Ken Taylor took this color slide.

Sunny day
Title:  Sunny day
Description:  Sunny days in the winter usually meant cold. The week between Christmas and New Years in 1989 lived up to that reputation, being one of the coldest weeks of the year. It didnt matter much to this TV 203, running right on time at BD.

OIBU
Title:  OIBU
Description:  This area has seen a lot of changes. You wouldnt know it from this photo, but there was a double track main line to the left of the train up til 1959, that of the Lackawanna. Gone without a trace, 33 years later. The bridge in the foreground would be replaced with a culvert in a couple of years when Conrail single tracked the line here. Today's view is of OIBU, a short 24 cars of it, seen from the NY 352 overpass.

Along the rocks
Title:  Along the rocks
Description:  The set up here at Gibson is rock wall, Southern Tier Line, now on the Lackawanna alignment, NY 17 on the Erie alignment, with the Chemung River, out of the picture, to the far right. When New York state built the 4 lane here, there were a lot of changes made to the landscape. As it was, this was the location where the Erie and DLW met and ran side by side to Horseheads, and to some extent, all the way to Binghamton. After 1959, the DLW was abandoned between here and the west side of Binghamton, taking the Erie between the two places.
