Crazy Tuesday - theme of June 7, 2022: Fruit and Vegetables
Tomatoes are fruits that are considered vegetables by nutritionists - so this is killing two birds with one stone ( so to speak ... no harm done to birds by taking this image ... but maybe to those yummy tomatoes afterwards : ))
I will catch up in the evening !
At Binghamton, NY, three NYS&W Alco C430's shove hard against 10, 000 tons of train from their yard and onto the Conrail Southern Tier line. This was one of the first so-called "Haulage Trains" that ran between Binghamton, NY and Passaic Jct, NJ that had NYS&W power and freight, but with Conrail crews running them. They were a sight to behold if you were lucky enough to catch one. They only ran once they got a large enough amount of freight, and it could happen on any day at any time.
It's "Grab-a-Box" week once again. This time I reached into the cabinet in the hall and opened a shoe box containing maybe thirty of those little yellow boxes. This one would held 20 slides, but only 15 were in it. I scanned them all and will post them all so this theme will run for a little over two weeks. All are from the 80's decade. There are six railroads represented. So, with no direction to go with but chronologically, we'll begin with the earliest one from 1980 and make our way to the final ones in 1988.
For the third slide we have moved to September of 1984.
The New York, Susquehanna & Western has been in operation of the Utica & Syracuse branches that were obtained from the great Conrail branch line spin off for nearly two and a half years now. It became the "Northern Division" of the NYS&W with no direct connection to the "Southern Division> in New Jersey. However, much traffic from Canada and the west would arrive at Binghamton and Utica to be forwarded by Conrail to the Southern Division. The NYS&W struck a haulage agreement for a reduced shipping rate if a tonnage line was reached. So, NYS&W held paper cars bound for Marcal and propane cars bound for a couple of gas customers until that line was reached and then ran a train. To make the haulage agreement even cheaper, NYS&W tossed in the power, too! All Conrail did was supply the crew. On this day, 3 Alco C430's would be the treat. This train would run maybe every week to ten days, but when word got out, fans flocked to Binghamton, even in rain, sleet, snow, and sometimes, sun!
Here we find one such "Haulage Train", (I don't recall the CR symbol), at Kirkwood, NY with the engineer really feeding the fuel to reach track speed, which will be needed to move the 10,000+ tons for what lays ahead, Gulf Summit.
In the days when loco haulage could still be enjoyed on a number of Lausanne S-Bahn services, SBB Class Re 4/4" 11319 was recorded passing Ependes in September 2009 with the Table 210 08:55 Lausanne to Yverdon-les-Bains [S11 12824] service.

1948 in the wake of draconian steel ratioing, saw the introduction of the V type, which featured a new cab styled by Sandbach coachbuilder John Henry Jennings. Later versions of this cab would be offered manufactured in steel by Willenhall. The V type a Lockeed continuous flow braking system, delivering full hydraulic air assisted braking.

A westbound Susquehanna haulage train begins the climb to Gulf Summit from Deposit, New York. Deposit was a helper base for this grade into early Conrail days. I don’t know why the Conrail C36-7/C30-7A combo is ahead of the NYSW power, which includes three C430’s, a C420, and a CF7 still painted for the Santa Fe.

The view from Liverpool Lime Street station up towards Edge Hill station shows the incline,
As built this line utilized rope haulage, and today, in a manner of speaking, it still does, the wire rope still provides the energy to lift trains up the incline, the difference being that the wire rope conducts electricity today.
The two holds significance, as this was P3 prior to remodeling of the station, they extended platforms to increase capacity, and..... removed a platform ?. from what i am lead to believe the original P1 is to be utilized for retail usage, then re opened as P0....
The sceptic in me thinks all this work has been done, not for passengers but for money....
Although the argument would be that, passengers can take advantage of the retail outlets on offer....
This raises more questions however,
Firstly i should say that i'm no retail marketing analyst, but....
This side of the station is predominantly Northern Rail in it's operations, along with the Newcastle and Scarborough Trans Pennine services.
It is auto ticket barrier accessed, and most of the services are relatively short haul and commuter focused...
The other side of the station operates Virgin West Coast, LNW and East Midland services and is open access...
I would have thought that these travelers would be more likely to spend prior to making a journey,
Whilst people on the other side, going to Blackpool or Scarborough are more likely to save their cash to spend at their destinations. that is my logic anyhow,
Along with all of this, the Northern side being auto ticket barrier controlled, says a little about Northern's determination to remove train crew, whilst the other side being open access may be saying something about the need for train crew on longer distance journey's.... Or more customer focused operators ! any how you catch my drift i hope..
