Southern Tier - East of Binghamton

Any additional work planned for the summer on this end? can we confirm something is up? or is this just general work scheduled for the line?

May 8th, 3pm. Strates train through Tuxedo heading towards Southfields NY

any news for our line? any trains in the works?

Not sure if this means anything, but apparently the signals at CP Narrows, CP Nobody, and an Automatic at Cochecton were working and being used by the SU99 this evening. I dont think NS put those in if there will only be 1 train 6 days a week

When were they not working?

I thought they didnt? If they did, then my mistake

Those signals were upgraded for 6 trains per week a few years back. Seems like a good use of funds...

Also to note, the SU99 last night was given clear, approach, and stop signals along the way. Again, not sure if it means anything, just passing along info

Probably the first time there has been a stop signal on the Tier in a long time...

I guess because NS filed back circa 2004 to shut down the signals after CNYK took over, a rumor still persists that they don't or didn't work. Sorry folks, STB smacked that idea down flat and the signals have always worked.

I drove through Port Jervis, and I thought I saw 2 new signals waiting to be cut in.
Possible, or railfan hallucination?

This is part of Metro North's signal upgrade.....

This is still a good sign for the East End......just hang in there.

What trains regularly head east out of Binghamton and into Binghamton from the east on that line these days?

I believe it's just the NYSW SU-100's and SU-99's that run from Bingo to Campbell Hall and then southward on
the old L&HR.
