Delaware & Hudson and CPR Pictures

March 15, 2009 While not on former D&H property, certainly this group of three images belongs.  I spotted this class of 1980 Bethlehem graduate gondola in stone service near Birdsboro, PA!  There's a couple quarries in the area, and it was parked in a cut of cars awaiting loading.  HKGX 2081 was one of a class of 250 on the D&H.  Joshua K.

September 1, 2008 Its the first day of September and I'm aboard a special train from Scranton to Binghamton, an one-way Amtrak ride back to Albany.  Here we wait at Bridge 60 for three trains before we head up the old Lackawanna. Joshua K. Blay
