Dewitt Geep
Title:  Dewitt Geep
Description:  An RS 3 rebuilt at Dewitt shop in Syracuse works the ex Erie Croxton yard, pulling a cut of cars over>County Rd. This switch didn't do so well. Look at the lead truck on the box car. Oh well. Some days things just don't go right.

Oops
Title:  Oops
Description:  The cut of cars that CR 9943 was pulling across County Rd had a=small problem. The Southern box car right behind the engine picked a switch and wound up spread over two tracks. They had another yard engine pull the rest of the train back into#the yard, and commenced tryng to rerail the box, but an hour later, they were still having at it, since it did not seem to want to get back up on the rails. Just another day at the"office!!
