View from the pusher set
Title:  View from the pusher set
Description:  On the hillside behind the Chenango Valley High School used to sit SA Cabin. This is where the double track out of the old Bevier St yard turned to single track. On ST SD26 #622 the pusher set has just cleared SA Cabin as they push train JET2 up Belden Hill. Roughly 10 years later SA Cabin would be replaced by CPF-611 that sits between Phelps St and Nowlan Rd. and the track and signals here would disappear. The signal mast on the far end of the control point was still standing 2 decades later overtaken by the growth of trees.

Title:  Over the bridge
Description:  BH 1 behind C 420 2010 rolls across the Chenango River as it makes its way north, today taking a trip up the Syracuse side, a lucky catch, since they went up there usually two days/week. At the time, the Utica Branch was a daily event, and much easier to find a train there.

Crossing tie swollen river
Title:  Crossing tie swollen river
Description:  The NYSW ran trains for the Marathon Maple Festival for a number of years in the 80s and>90s, using wh`tever power was available and clean, usually Alcos, though in later years it was the 142 and a variety lf SD 45s. This train had Alcos fore and aft, and we see D&H 5023, the one with the best paint, cleaned up and leading the first train for the 1989 weekend across the Chenango River, close to overflowing its banks due to spring runoff.

Title:  Looking down the river
Description:  BH 3 rolls 35 cars across the Chenango River, in a companion piece to the similar photo in this album, only now we see more of the frozen river it is crossing. There was a time when an effort was made to have a yellowjacket leading, to put forth a good image. Not today, as the patch painted ex SP unit is leading. It will eventually become an SD30ECO, but for now, its still a tired ex SP tunnel motor.
