New order
Title:  New order
Description:  As CP took over operation of the D&H, it moved in its own power and operating people, but time was needed for the transition, so NYSW power was still common on many trains, now mixed with CP units. This MEBU is rolling under the NY 427 overpass at Chemung behind two of each to power its 90 cars.

Bright power
Title:  Bright power
Description:  Now that CP has started to run the D&H, its power is mixing with the established power arrangements. Thus we have a pair of yellow and a pair of red units on this MEBU at the stone arch bridge in Barton.

Any other time
Title:  Any other time
Description:  But today. ABBU with the first two SOO units to come to the D&H had just passed westbound, and we were all running to our cars to get on with the chase when we heard the horn. BUME rolls through the semaphores behind a mix of NYSW and CP power. It's a horrible angle for the train, but it does a good job of showing the lenses in the semaphore blades.

Susie-Q
Title:  Susie-Q
Description:  A "training exercise" with my friend Jack Jakeman this past week-end had me reminiscing about this chase, so even though the photos are lousy, I decided to post them anyway. I believe that the NYS&W called this train the 555 back then. Of all the photos I got, not one of them reveals the number of the second engine; dang it!

Front end helper
Title:  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.
