It never stops
Title:  It never stops
Description:  NYSW had a way of putting together some power combinations youd never see anywhere else. Sometimes it happened in the yard, though often youd see them on the road too. This set was one only the Susie Q could come up with, at East Binghamton.

Big deal
Title:  Big deal
Description:  There was a time when a pair of Alcos such as this was not totally unusual, though there with only 16 C430s built, they did not widely mix. By 1990, ANY Alco was a notable sighting. Here we have two of the more unusual models, a C 400, and a high hood, steam generator equipped C 420, basking in the sun at East Binghamton.

Bigfoot and the Easter bunny
Title:  Bigfoot and the Easter bunny
Description:  Binghamton for a long time had a reputation of being the place where everything eventually turned up. This was true in the NYSW era as much as it had been in the past. A lot of odd short line power showed up, since the D&H shop had capability smaller places did not, and Im qure Walter Rich saw it as a revenue opportunity. The result was that a lot of things that "could never happen," happened here. We see a case in point: an NYSW C420 coupled to a Rahway Valley 70 tonner, though at this stage, it was not so far fetched, since both roads were under the Delaware-Otsego umbrella. Still, it was not likely to happen-but there it is, like seeing the Easter bunny and bigfoot at the same time.

Title:  Whod believe it??
Description:  Power from NYSW, NS, CSX, and even New Jersey short line Rahway Valley is at the East Binghamton engine house. Ten years earlier, if you told someone you would see this set up, theyd be checking your meds.
