Title:
Sadness or euphoria
Description:
NYSW had some interesting power through the years, though sometimes it was not all that attractive. When it was painted in yellowjacket, it looked sharp. There were also periods where it looked pretty sad, patch painted and mismatched. Today its sadness and not euphoria, as an ex SP tunnel motor in a multicolor patch paint job leads a pair of ex Cartier big Alcos, still mostly in their old scheme. Theres also a glimpse of F 45 3636, in yellowjacket, and definitely in a state of euphoria, as its running. This is SU 99 arriving from Jersey. The tunnel motor would soon get the yellow and black the NYSW is famous for; the Alcos would get sold to WNY&P before they ever got close to a paint booth, and 3636 would eventually become a hangar queen and go to scrap.

Title:
Motley power
Description:
An SU 99 pulls up to QD with a mixed bag of power, mostly in ragged paint. The trailing unit is in yellowjacket, and the leader eventually got that scheme. The two Alcos were gone before they got painted, which is a shame, though second unit 3672 did get "NYSW" on the rear above the radiator. Seeing the yellow jacket scheme on big Alcos would have been a treat.
