Sometimes odd stuff shows up
Title:  Sometimes odd stuff shows up
Description:  The UP unit came in on NS; by this time, their power and BNSF were not much of a surprise. NYSW, however, did get some interesting visitors from other upstate short lines, since they did some repair work at Utica. Such is the case today, as in this VLIX C 420 in transit to somewhere at the Binghamton yard.

UP power on work train
Title:  UP power on work train
Description:  NS was not shy about borrowing other roads power for even mundane assignments. A pair of BNSF units ran on a local for several months in the Tier, and there were times when a pair of UP units did the same. Here we see one on a stone train. Its a long way from stack trains in Nebraska!! Of note is the C 420 on the adjacent track in the NYSW yard, along with what looks like an F unit. NYSW handled a lot of units for other short lines and regionals, and a lot of interesting power showed up from time to time.
