A hill to climb1 viewsEastbound D&H Sea-Land doublestack train SLN-8 struggles up Attica Hill with two B&M bluebird GP38-2s bracketing an ex-D&H (nee-RDG) GP39-2 in fresh Guilford paint. SLN-8's circuitous CSX-B&P-D&H-NYS&W routing and varied motive power assignments were a joy to Western NY railfans. The train carried the symbol DTV8 while utilizing trackage rights over Conrail's Southern tier Line between Buffalo and Binghamton.

CR SD50 #6759 BUOI Arkport NY2 viewsBrand new Conrail SD50 #6759 leads BUOI through Arkport NY, just north of Hornell. A pair of the big units could haul the longest Conrail freights up Attica Hill with ease, while tenant D&H's trains required pushers from among a motley crew of 4-axle power.

D&H Sea-Land stack train at Dale NY10 viewsAn ex-D&H GP39-2 in fresh Guilford paint is sandwiched by a pair of blue B&M GP40-2s on a sunny October day as they hustle east through bucolic Dale NY after climbing the torturous hill at Attica. The arrival of double-stack container trains to both D&H and host Conrail's operating scheme more than doubled the number of daily trains on the ex-EL Southern Tier Line for a period of several years while Conrail tackled clearance problems on the Water Level Route.

GATX SD40-2 #2000 Attica Hill2 viewsA westbound D&H stack train works its way up Attica Hill on Conrail's Southern Tier Line with leased GATX SD40-2 #2000 leading two former Burlington Northern units now wearing NYS&W paint. CP Rail, the new owner of the Bridge Line, would lease a variety of colorful units from GATX, PLM and others, continuing a long history of interesting lashups on the D&H.

MEC U25B #228 + MEC (Guilford) U23B #2810 viewsThe Guilford era on the D&H dawned with high hopes and a bright splash of color, as exemplified by MEC U25B #228 and freshly repainted ex-D&H U23B #281, idling at the William St end of the North Yard in Buffalo NY. The units had apparently been used as pushers on a heavy westbound movement over Attica Hill.
