Bicentennial
Title:  Bicentennial
Description:  From a long time ago. The D&H had some RS 3s rebuilt in the early 70s, repainted 506 for the Bicentennial, and true to D&H form, never got around to painting it back into the lightning stripe the other 7 units were in. This one went to Tioga Central, where it still has this paint job, as far as I know. In 1989, it was at Owego, with a freshly painted coach and S 2. The S 2 is notable also, having been the Buffalo Creek Bicentennial unit, their 46-see comment below.

Father and son
Title:  Father and son
Description:  A father gets a photo of the period freight run for the Southern Tier RRE railfan day. At the time, Im sure my thought was, "I wish this guy wasnt in my picture." Now I look at the man taking the photo, with his young son by his side, and its one of my favorites, a dad and his young boy having a day out together, some quality time shared. By now, that little boy must be pushing 30, and dad is probably a lot grayer-I know I am!! Hopefully, they both recall this otherwise gloomy day fondly. Its been said that there is a lack of interest by younger kids in railroads. A moment like this is how it starts.
