Old power in the lead
Title:  Old power in the lead
Description:  41T typically got a set of CNs new SD75s or GEs, or some combination of them. Occasionally an older unit would get in the mix, as well as IC units. Here we see one such mixed set crossing the Chenango River on its way out of Binghamton

From the connector
Title:  From the connector
Description:  After many years of dithering about where to locate the bridge, NYSDOT finally decided to site a Susquehanna crossing at exit 66 on NY 17, the Apalachin exit. This turned out to be a good thing for me, as it eliminated the need for me to have to go through Endicott most of the time, and also provided a good place to get a shot of a westbound, such as this 41T rolling toward Owego.
