Album Info:The D&H had a local, at the time of this album, CP's symbol D 22, that ran to Owego in Tioga County to interchange with the Owego & Harford. This was the evolution of a service that was once a D&H operation of the former LV Auburn Branch, done under contract to Tioga County after CR quit. Once Tioga Central took over, the D&H had access to give the TC an alternative to Conrail. The train often got one or more of the repainted GP 38-2's in lightning stripes.

Making the swap
Title:  Making the swap
Description:  CP 1810 and Tioga Central 62 swap gas cars at Owego in TCs yard. The line at left is Conrail's ex EL Southern Tier Line. The through truss crosses Owego Creek. The Tioga Central unit is on the ex Lehigh Valley Auburn Branch, which left the LV main at Sayre, running alongside the EL from there to Owego. D&H and LV had an interchange train that operated via that route to Owego, then over the EL to Binghamton, alternately with LV power and D&H power. A lot of interesting units showed up on it, including the D&H sharks.

Lightning stripe in the snow.
Title:  Lightning stripe in the snow.
Description:  One of D 22s other assignments was to run the Owego & Harford interchange to Owego twice a week, part of the trackage rights that D&H received as a condition of Conrails start up. A variety of power ran these trains over the years, including a wide variety of Alcos. By 2003 the Alcos were gone, but you could still find interesting power on the train. Here we see it head west from the new bridge connecting NY 17C to NY 17 across the river at Apalachin.

Framed in the chain link
Title:  Framed in the chain link
Description:  D 22 crosses over from track 1 to 2 to the Buffalo Runner as it heads up to Bevier St behind a pair of lightning stripe GP 38s from the M-K rebuild a dozen years earlier. The City of Binghamton had done some rehab work on the overpass a few years earlier and put up a chain link fence, which limited the ability to take photos,from it. The mesh was tight enough that this was the result.

Matched set
Title:  Matched set
Description:  This was the Holy Grail of Mills Job power-a pair of D&H painted GP 38s. It happened fairly often, you just had to be there to see it, though a lot of the time there would be a red unit in the set. I caught SU 2 at Miller Beach Rd, about two miles from their target downtown, with two lightning stripes and a dozen or so cars.

Description:  D 22 was the former SU 2 that worked the local freight in the Binghamton area. Two days a week it went to Owego to interchange with the Owego & Harford, primarily salt and LP gas. Sometimes it made the trip lite power one direction. So it is this day, with a pair of the D&H GP 38-2s
