Diesel Freight train

Lehigh Valley branches are more and more bending under the weight of burbling diesel switchers and road-switchers, rather than of clanking 4-6-0s, 4-6-2s, and 2-8-2s. Above is a 1500-horsepower Baldwin-Westinghouse product, shown a short distance out of the East Ithaca dead end on the round trip mixed train from Cortland. To earn her keep, no.200 must run from Sayre-Cortland, CortlandCanastota and return, Cortland-East Ithaca and return, and CortlandSayre each day, an itinerary which keeps her running almost continuously.
