Union Station
Title:  Union Station
Description:  The NYC station at Utica was really a union station, in that it was also used by the DLW, which came up Schuyler St through town. That part of the operation is still run by the NYSW, serving, among others, Matts Brewing Co. The last DLW train here was in the 1950s. The station is still used by Amtrak, and its a good place to see CSX action as well, such as this 91 car eastbound.

CSX detour
Title:  CSX detour
Description:  During summer track work season, CSX would send detour trains over NYSW on a daily basis. Mostly these were low priority trains, usually Q 403 and 404. Q 156 was a higher priority train that often made the trip via Binghamton. We see it here passing Kirkwood Industrial Park along US 11 with a UP leader, with 46 freight and 79 stacks for Jersey.
