RE: (erielack) December picture

Ah, yes, forgot to mention the location. The shot IS at Binghamton, taken from the east end of the platform canopy looking in the direction of the station (none of which is visible because of a whiteout-of-a-snowstorm going on).

So, what would a former DL&W passenger F3 be doing parked on one of the stub tracks? (pardon my passenger ignorance here, I'm sure John Boehner can correct me).   Was this for one of the local passenger runs down the Delaware Division?
