NS 28N, NS 911, Binghamton, New York
Emergency Response. On the night of December 1, 2017, Norfolk Southern SD60E 911 led train 28N into Binghamton, New York, seen here passing the former Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railway station and the "JC 214" milepost, denoting 214 miles from Jersey City, New Jersey. The locomotive would be used the next day to lead the Capital Region Toys For Tots Train from Binghamton to Schenectady, but its assignment was a last minute arrangement. Next to "Honoring First Responders" are three logos representing EMS, Police, and Fire Supression. I revisited this previously unpublished photo today in memory of the great night photographer Gary Knapp, who recently passed away. Gary was a modern master of off camera flash photography, and an inspiration to many in the field.
