Maybe emissions requirements are easier with 4 strokes? Or possibly future upgrade paths easier with GE for NS? Find it interesting the sd40-2 from the 1970's and 80's still are "useful" . But sd60 & 70's are cast off with far less years on them. Like steam before them, two strokes are from another ...

Looks like these have the Altoona designed cabs, does that help with their ride issue?

That's 5, and they were classified as "Junk", what makes them junk? If they have the 710 series two strokes...is it the trucks? Suspension?

Of course I like seeing old EMD power almost as much as Alco's ; And for what ever reason many of the smaller short lines went that direction. Is it because the old two two stroker's are still supported? Or like detriot diesel motors in other applications they simply last longer than their 4 stroke ...

I didn't catch this...WISH I did, I've tried. Krista Decker has a bunch of the smaller rail roads from this part of the world...

I think the New York Central like paint job on these are pretty cool. And it looks like they have moved into the EMD era

Only the lead unit appeared to be running.

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...
