Typical motley power
Title:  Typical motley power
Description:  A leased SD 38, one of two on the railroad-the other is the last unit in this consist-a couple of patch painted SP units, and a black ex NS SD lead a 76 car train north past the ex DLW station, partly visible behind the train, at Whitney Point. This is most likely an SU 403, a train run as a detour move for CSX. This was common at the time, as CSX was doing a lot of work on their ex NYC lines from Jersey to Buffalo, so getting a low priority train off their main eased the congestion.

Mixed up set
Title:  Mixed up set
Description:  For a while in the 1990s, NYSW could put together a pretty good looking set of power. After Walter Rich passed, and most of the SD 45s were sold or scrapped, they picked up used diesels from a number of sources. The result was, it became harder and harder to find a matched set of power. This SU 100 is a case in point, rolling a 63 car train east past the Kirkwood water plant, though it does have one of the two SD 40T-2's that they had painted at the time.

Leasers and a homer
Title:  Leasers and a homer
Description:  NYSW ran some interesting lease power over the years. For a couple of years, they had these two attractive SD 38s from LLPX, which were a common sight on SU 99 and 100. Both of them are on this SU 99, seen at QD putting its train away.
