Running light from depot off train no. 10 from St. Lawrence Div., coal tower in view
This is practically the same scene as that shown three pages back, with the camera shifted slightly southward. The double-tracked passenger main is at left. Hudson type no.5331 in front of the coal dock is ready for the run on train no. 40 to New…
Train VE by roundhouse
Engine 3049 of the L-3b class Mohawk type heads west into the evening sun, with her 72-car train inching out of DeWitt Yards behind her. Freight tracks here run in an alley formed by the engine terminal on the right and the village of East Syracuse…

Train VEG across Clark St., East Syracuse, NY
Clark Street in East Syracuse is doubtless one of the most often blocked grade crossings in New York State. Five tracks cross it: four freight mains leading to and from DeWitt Yards, with important crossovers necessitating slow speed and frequent…
On outbound engine tracks
This isn't something out of Hollywood, nor does it mean that the NYC has extended its operations into desert territory; it is an outgoing engine track at the East Syracuse terminal, smoke from which darkens an otherwise unclouded evening sky. Engine…
