GP 40s north |
| Description: |
The last new power B&M got was a group of GP40-2s in 1978. They're still pretty new in this photo; some are still in service. Here are a pair, along with an ex Conrail unit headed north at Bainbridge in last light |

Well, the next four years anyway. A Guilford repaint-actually, an ex D&H 7600 series GP 39 that Guilford "transferred" to the B&M, leads a northbound at Bainbridge. Note the railfan chase vehicle in the foreground. |

A ghost from the past |
| Description: |
A D&H Belden Hill detour train pulls up the connector from the D&H Penn Division to Conrails Southern Tier Line at Jefferson Jct behind a mix of power that looks deceptively like a vision from the past. The reality is that the patch paint over the former road name has worn off, allowing the prior owners name to bleed through. Nobody was complaining!! |

| Description: |
When Steamtown moved from Vermont to Scranton, most of the smaller equipment was mounted on flat cars and moved in special trains. This one is approaching Binghamton on the Southern Tier, having just entered the line at Lanesboro. There are a number of smaller engines and other equipment on the train, some of which can be seen in the Steamtown album. |

The Tier was known for its many Erie RR era semaphores. There were at least two pairs, one at Arkport, about five miles west of Hornell, rarely seen due to the walk in nature of their location; and this pair at Tioga Center, which were adjacent to NY 17C, and easy to photograph. ABBU, running wrong main, passes between them on its way west. |

ABBU at E Glass |
| Description: |
This photo shows the area on the east side of Corning that was CP E Glass for much of Conrails existence. The relay case can be seen to the left of track 1 at the crossovers. The lead to the Corning Secondary is the track going off to the left at the lower left corner of the frame. The E Glass/N Glass/W Glass complex formed a wye that connected the Corning Secondary and the Southern Tier Line. The Corning Secondary had been the NYC line along Seneca Lake to Geneva and a connection with the Water Level Route, now Conrails Chicago Line. Trains such as SYEN would come down this line, taking the W Glass leg of the wye and roll through Gang Mills Yard, where there was a connection back to the old alignment on the east side of the Tioga River. That line went down the Grand Canyon of PA to a connection with the Pennsy at Jersey Shore PA on the Buffalo Line. This was part of the 1951 realignment that took both the Central and the Erie out of the street in downtown Corning, a route now followed by NY 352, locally Dennison Pkwy. To the left of the existing track is an empty right of way. This was the DLW, which parallelled the Erie here, having returned to its own line just east of here after the 1959 facilities coordination, whereby the DLW abandoned its main as a through route from the west side of Binghamton. Here at Gibson it returned to its own line to reach Bath, Cohocton, and Groveland on its way to Buffalo. That line would be downgraded, and mostly abandoned after the 1960 EL merger. Prior to 1959, the DLW ran next to the Erie from here to Horseheads, where the lines separated to enter Elmira. |

Guilford trio |
| Description: |
BUME behind three Guilford painted units rolls along the rock wall next to NY 17 just east of Corning with 48 cars. This was a challenging shot for an eastbound, as you had to stand on the shoulder of westbound NY 17, an expressway. Timing had to be good, as you could not stop here long. I got it right this sunny morning, catching three Guilford units, one each for the component roads, though the leader and trailing units had been "transferred" away from the D&H. |

Empty coal |
| Description: |
An empty Bow Coal train from New Hampshire rolls into Bevier St behind a mix of power, including a pair of recently acquired SD 26s. The consist is otherwise notable for the lead and trailing units. The leader was until recently a D&H 7600 series GP 39-2, now in Guilford paint and lettered B&M. It will stay on Guilford when they pull out of the D&H a year from now. The trailing unit is an ex Detroit Edison unit, one of several Guilford acquired. |

New paint |

Guilford renumbered and repainted some of the oldest B&M units. I dont know that they got any mechanical upgrades, but they looked clean. This one was on MEEB at Binghamton. |
