Got painted
Title:  Got painted
Description:  Much of the power UP inherited from merged roads ran around in patched predecessor paint for years, and a lot of secondary power didnt get fully repainted. This ex SP tunnel motor got the full treatment, and was sent barnstorming. We see it on a military train headed west at Utica.

Along the Delaware
Title:  Along the Delaware
Description:  By this time, it was a real catch to get an SU 99 in daylight. I was returning from a trip to New York, which usually meant a ride up NY 97, just in case. Today it paid off, as I caught up to the train near Narrowsburg. Here it is at Basket, on a gloomy Sunday.

Clearance
Title:  Clearance
Description:  SU 99 rolls off the bridge over the East Branch of the Delaware at Hancock. Look at the clearance over the train. This is why the Erie was the high and wide railroad in the east, a legacy of its original 6 foot gauge construction.

By the feed mill
Title:  By the feed mill
Description:  The feed mill at right was at one time an Erie customer. In the age of the NYSW, there are very few shippers left on the line, and SU 99 rolls through without stopping.

Sadness or euphoria
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.

Motley power
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.

SU 100 with lease power
Title:  SU 100 with lease power
Description:  For a couple of years in the early part of the 2000s decade, NYSW leased a pair of SD38s from Locomotive Leasing Partners. Here one of them leads SU 100 at Kirkwood NY en route to Jersey.

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.

The 99 arrives
Title:  The 99 arrives
Description:  SU 99 arrives at BD on a sunny February morning with a yellowjacket leading three other units that are, well, not as well dressed. After a decade or more of good looking power, the NYSW has reverted into the mix of hand me down colors that were its hallmark in the 80s.

From the road
Title:  From the road
Description:  We chased an eastbound detour train, probably Q 156, or possibly Q 404, I didnt note the symbol, to Susquehanna, then caught this Q 271 there going back. We were able to grab this shot along PA 171 where the tracks go away from the road at Red Rock. Thats my then girlfriend, now wife, Diane, getting a shot of the action too.

Typical mix
Title:  Typical mix
Description:  The NYSW had a wide variety of hand me down power over the years, and they were not shy about mixing it up. Most of the time, they put the yellowjackets in the lead, but anything could show up. BH 1 crosses the Chenango River on its way to Syracuse with a pair of yellowjackets, a six and a four motor unit, leading an ex NW SD, still in black dip.

Switching Frito Lay
Title:  Switching Frito Lay

Looking down the river
Title:  Looking down the river
Description:  BH 3 rolls 35 cars across the Chenango River, in a companion piece to the similar photo in this album, only now we see more of the frozen river it is crossing. There was a time when an effort was made to have a yellowjacket leading, to put forth a good image. Not today, as the patch painted ex SP unit is leading. It will eventually become an SD30ECO, but for now, its still a tired ex SP tunnel motor.

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.

Open shot
Title:  Open shot
Description:  Train speeds on the Northern Division were modest, 30 MPH in most places, so chasing was not a challenge most of the time. After shooting a train at Forks, you could easily beat him to this spot, where the tracks crossed US 11 south of Whitmey Point. Here you were afforded an open view of the train as it approached the crossing. It will be a good wait for the 110 cars to clear. I wont beat him to Lisle, only three miles up, but Killawog shouldnt be a problem.

To the Syracuse side
Title:  To the Syracuse side
Description:  BH 1 takes the switch for the Syracuse Branch at Forks. Its 77 cars will cause some consternation for the motorists on NY 12 as it slowly clears the interlocking. I'm standing about where the south end of the old DLW station stood until 1976.

Detour train with western power
Title:  Detour train with western power
Description:  CSX detour train SU 404 approaches the Kattelville Road crossing in Chenango Bridge with a pair of BNSF units leading the usual motley assortment of NYSW power that typified that period, though it is that rarest of power consists these days, having three builders' diesels. Just a hint of fall color is still in the trees this late in October
