Going away
Title:  Going away
Description:  There were two sets of consecutive units on this train. The leaders were a pair of U23s, now a pair of ex Reading GP 39s. This was a typical power set in the mid 80s.

Ex D&H U23
Title:  Ex D&H U23
Description:  When Guilford took over the D&H, they moved much of the power around their roster, with the D&H units being most affected. An example of that is the two units leading this train. Once D&H U23Bs, they are now lettered for the Maine Central. It became a sore point at the D&H that Guilford kept all the newer power when it let the D&H go in 1988.

Guilford trio
Title:  Guilford trio
Description:  BUME behind three Guilford painted units rolls along the rock wall next to NY 17 just east of Corning with 48 cars. This was a challenging shot for an eastbound, as you had to stand on the shoulder of westbound NY 17, an expressway. Timing had to be good, as you could not stop here long. I got it right this sunny morning, catching three Guilford units, one each for the component roads, though the leader and trailing units had been "transferred" away from the D&H.
