Only the lead unit appeared to be running.

Like an old FORD? Spares?

Love those old monsters, here is a recent video from another channel that covers CNY & Northern PA, Take a look:

Two channels that have a LOT of the unique Central New York Short lines in their Video channel archives...WORTH a look! And they did help me find some better places to "Rail Fan" NYS&W from, to them I say thankyou And on these two channels are some more "obscure" railroads such as: Finger Lakes Rail...

Stumbled into this one while getting some chainsaw related parts & a repair job for the shop to keep me busy. Found out real quickly I wasn't the ONLY one following this train Saw a fellow videoing around Preble, and then two more right before Tully...and we got chatting. They allowed me to follow t...

One take away for me getting a few video minutes is they don't waste any time in that town! In my town the speed limit might be in the 10-15mph range. They were flying in Wabash as comapared! And with these newer configuration massively long trains....that as to be harder on everything from track to...

A close friend living in that part of the world snagged this video of a 155 plus or minus Car train with 4 Locomotives up front and a DPU around 54 cars back ramming this mass of steel up a slight grade...

SO what happened to their business where all these locomotives are now no longer needed? Are new ones coming on line? Or did their customer base shrink? Or they doing that very long train thing where there will be less trains to cover the same customer base? That is a lot over units to just dump unl...

Have a bunch of "catches" to build into a video from a trip to Wabash Indiana....BUT came home and while doing my regular chainsaw repair parts hunt, came across this train working in Cortland NY. For what ever reason the lesson is the "impromptu" always seems to work out better than planned. SO Sna...

You know your old when...

You STILL have a pair of HP715-100's set up with HPUX version 12 with a c++ development environment....

A couple of possibilities, there are the two "energy" companies. They sell oil & propane. But most likely Sute-Cote, the regional big boy in road paving. They have their Asphalt plant there and also have a straight oil for oil & stone a mile or two up the road. Get their raw materials by rail and pr...

They went cross the river and I just didn't have time to catch the real action. Looked like they were switching cars across where they deliver to Sute-Cote. My best guess was either they were disassembling or building a train, didn't hang around to see exactly what....BUT did get a minute of diesel ...

Not really other than they are a class two short line from New Jersey through Binghamton to Syracuse...and have a little "spur" over by Utica. Thing their "office" is out that Utica wayin Cooperstown. An interesting place as its pretty far away from anything related! Do know they carry limestone fro...

First "All Yellow" in a while, snagged this when I actually was headed out fishing....caught a train instead
