RE: (erielack) DL&W diesel audio

Yes, Joshua, a 44-tonner worked Cortland yard & sometimes went to 
Cincinnatus & back with the road crew. I was too late for this fun, but was 
told by the old-timers that the practice was for the road crew  to trade 
engines upon arival at Cortland and take the little engine to Cincinnatus 
since the road engine could not be used on the lite track on the branch. 
After coming in from the branch, engines were exchanged aganin & the road 
crew returned to Binghamton. I GUESS this meant there was a regular job at 
Cortland. Can anybody else on the list shed some light on this or am I one 
of the last of the mohicans??

>train. They make the hitch, pump up and leave. Track 2:  Still near
>Hoboken, we hear as two different commuter trains with 900 class RS3s roar
>by..  Track 3:  Still at Hoboken we hear as an Alco S2 switcher fusses
>about. Track 4: We are at Binghamton, NY and we hear a WB passenger train
>powered by an ABA set of passenger F3s as she leaves town. Then we hear the
>EB Phoebe Snow which has been waiting just west of the station as she 
>glides
>into the station, does her business and then leaves EB. Track 5: Still in
>Binghamton we record the EB #14 as she rolls into the station. An SW7
>switcher then removes a couple of cars and 14 leaves. Track 6:  We then 
>move
>to East Binghamton yard (aka Conklin Yard) where we happen upon an EB
>freight with F7/GP7/F3B/F3 as she waits for a signal and then heads east.
>Track 7:  Still at East Binghamton we catch a WB freight with
>F3A/F7B/F3B/F7A as she drops a cut of cars and then leaves WB. Track 8: 
>Back
>at Binghamton station we catch an unknown EB passenger train  as she 
>arrives
>and leaves also with an F3 ABA set. This is followed by a WB freight that
>glides through the station with 3 Alco RS3s in charge. This is followed by
>an EB mail/express with F3s that stops for a little business and then
>leaves. Track 9:  We are at the Utica, NY DL&W yard and we catch a GP7
>making up the daily local freight to Binghamton. She then leaves SB. Track
>10:  This is a very rare clip recorded by a friend who lived in Cortland,
>NY. It is the sound of a DL&W 44 Tonner working the Cortland yard. There 
>was
>a junction with a branch line to Cincinnatus, NY there and apparently a 44

>Railroad then this CD is for you. Look for Vol. 2 coming soon. Buyer pays
