STL648 by Citizen of the Galaxy Via Flickr: Of all the switchers working the Binghamton area during the early Conrail era, SW-900M No. 8648 (ex-LV 121) might have been the most popular, as the unit ran in full Lehigh Valley Cornell Red paint with black diamonds and pinstripes. I only got one decent shot of it, and here it is, from 6 January 1980, hauling cars on the ex-Lackawanna main, viewed from across the Erie side at Titchener Place in the First Ward section of the city.

1) I revisited the Palmer Diner last night, as seen in my first book, American Squares. Not much has changed. Speaking of...

Hello followers! Hello @staff! I wonder if anyone is out there? If so, hello. I believe my Instagram may have “broken up with me” so I thought I would revisit the world here. Nice to see you.

2) Memorial Day, Pottsville, Pennsylvania

Lehigh Valley three GM switchers in the LV/Reading yard (viewed from yard tower.) The CNJ had given up their Pennsylvania operations to the LV only a couple years prior.

Visiting eastern Pennsylvania for the week, having dinner at a local pub. Ordered pierogis, mentioned to waitress we’re from out of town.

“Oh great! From where?”

“San Francisco”

“….so do you even know what a pierogi is?” 😒

MA’AM.
