JJ Young, Jr. photo collection on Flickr: D&H, EL, LV, etc.

Not sure if this has been posted yet.
There is now a Flickr account with the late JJ Young Jr's B&W photos from the Southern Tier - mostly around Binghamton, NY.
It's a gold mine of images.

Thanks for posting this, Mike. An excellent resource, his family should be thanked for making the photos available for everyone to enjoy!

A big Thank You to his son John Young III for making the images available, and to Sam Botts who has done all the scanning.

Mike

I certainly enjoyed these photos. Thanks for sharing the link!

The Photos are first class and awesome, thank you for posting,
Bob

A real treasure trove to be sure...

Curious about this photo:

Besides the Milwaukee Road (!) diesels on the left, there's what appears to be a small switch engine (44 tonner? 45 tonner?) in the yard, just left of the EL freight coming through and behind the switcher. It looks like the number of this unit is 1659 but I can't be sure. Any thoughts on what that unit is, and why it's there?

It would appear to be US Army 80 tonner 1659. If you Google it will bring up some images.

I am curios what was stored in this tank?

US Army 1659 at Hill AFB UT. Thanks to Rick Morgan for the photo.

Are the photos gone? Flickr is saying the album doesn't exist.

It's working for me.....

Sam must be doing something with the album. Earlier today, the album was down to a little over 200 photos. I see it is up to 837 as of this posting, although the links for the individual photos have changed, and some photos that had previously had locations, descriptions and comments now have none showing up.

OK,
So here is a new link:

What did they store in that tank, it looks very large!

It looks much like one of those old-style "gas-tanks", similar to the UGI tank that was in Allentown, Pa.
many years ago that was near the Lehigh Valley tracks.

Charlie

I don't remember if it was gas or oil stored in the tanks. It was located on Court St. in Binghamton where NYSEG currently has one their storage facilities.

These images are absolutely fantastic! Amazing to look what was once in Binghamton and surrounding areas.
