Must be a jet
Title:  Must be a jet
Description:  My notes dont show what train this is, but it was parked at Bevier St. At the time, JET 1 was the only train that did not yard at East Binghamton, so Im guessing this is JET 1 waiting on a crew. In a nice touch, the leader is one of the B&Ms last order of new power, GP40-2 303.

Thats a lot of power
Title:  Thats a lot of power
Description:  A side view of the train seen at a more head on angle elsewhere. I believe this is JET 1, which was typically overpowered, probably in hopes there would be enough units still running at the end of the trip to get it into the terminal.

Jet powered
Title:  Jet powered
Description:  Guilford established a pair of trains, JET 1 and JET 2 to make some kind of effort to hasten freight velocity to New England. In an optimistic approach by the marketing types, these were called JET 1 westbound, and JET 2 eastbound. Here we see JET 1 coming through Bevier St with 102 cars. It will take the Buffalo Runner to QD, where a new crew will get on for the trip to Buffalo, avoiding the yard and its interinable terminal delay.

Last Train
Title:  Last Train
Description:  Its the "Last Run" of the famous "Snow Train". Head-end brakeman Alan MacMillan gets a broom from the cab, while Trainmaster Lester Stephenson uses a shovel to attempt to get the switch thrown over to allow the power to run around the train for the trip back to Boston. This is not only the last "Snow Train", its also the last passenger train on the Conway Branch on the Boston & Maine.
