i'm not sure where exactly i want to go, but i was thinking chicago at best, boston for ease, possibly maine, or tentively up to rouses point at the border just for kicks. selkirk is huge, and i think that's what makes it seem challenging. as far as catching out of it (and i only have ebd experience) you just have to wait at the end of the yard before the wye, there are many crew change points in the yard, but a few stop to change under the 396(?) overpass. i think you're talking about mohawk yard up in schnectady, ns train? i've never been to binghampton. thanks for the help.
