Binghamton was important in the DL&W scheme of things.  Besides the S&U 
traffic being integrated into the through freight (and passenger flow) the 
D&H interchange was also significant.  East Binghamton Yard was in support 
of these.  DL&W  T&E freight crews and passenger engine crews changed at 
Scranton and Elmira while through line passenger train service men changed 
at Binghamton.
        IIRC the S&U Division was headquartered at Binghamton in its final 
iteration.
        Despite its heavier traffic through Binghamton (and, I believe, to 
and from the D&H) the Erie had a leaner presence in Binghamton.
