| NYSW had lost a couple of C 430s to wrecks in the previous few years, but still had two that were worth saving. The 3000 had been in service for several years, recently getting a new coat of paint. The other unit they kept was 3006, the John Treen, named for a long time conductor. Here it is at E Binghamton, getting a transfer out of the yard for the NYSW. Thats the old DLW yard tower at right. Like everything else, it was built of steel reinforced concrete, and designed for the ages. It was finally torn down around 2004 by CP. |
