NYSW 3006 rolls north past the site of YO yard, a small yard on the north side of Binghamton that handled traffic on the Syracuse and Utica branches. It is now the site of a frack sand transfer, but for many years, it was just a weedgrown field with scattered rail and ties. Conrail switches the Agway plant at right. The boxcars are inbound grain, which was still a surprisingly common way of receiving it at this location. |
