I'm thinking you have images 1 & 2 reversed in their locations.
#1 is the south end of Otego from the crossroad overpass to I-88 from Route 7.

Great set, Bill.  Thanks!

I believe the 2nd image is at LK (Larkin) cabin at Dingman Hill crossing between the Susquehanna River bridge south of Sidney and Bainbridge. - see attached photo I took on  July 26, 1980. That double track was cut back in D&H days to TP interlocking up by Sidney was taken out by Guilford.

Great shots and great memories and indeed "Those were the days !!!"

In 1979 I thought the blue and gray D&H would be with us forever, Not to be :(
