Wanna buy a used car?? I got a deal for you.... |
| Description: |
In April 2003, an NYSW train was backing into the yard at QD when the train split a switch. The power kept shoving, and the stress sent several cars down the embankment at Front St. Some days, it just doesnt pay to get out of bed!! |

BH 1 and the TP&W |

One benefit NYSW got from its brief stewardship of the TP&W was a trio of GP 20s. We see one of them at the signals-its not really an interlocking-at Chenango Forks with 16 cars going up whats left of the Utica Branch. |

TP&W power |
| Description: |
BH 2 rolls north under I 81 as it makes its way toward Chenango Forks and the Syracuse Branch behind a GP 20 that was brought east during the time NYSW ran the TP&W. There were three of these units that saw several years of service on the "eastern lines." Also in the mix is one of NYSWs own GP 40s, and a lease fleet ex NW SD 40. |

NYSW BH 1 has done its interchange work with CP, and is now headed back to its yard downtown with its transfer cars behind a pair of GP 20s from the TP&W, which it operated for a few years in the 1990s. The view is from St Clair Av, at the old bridge abutment for Conklin Av, left in place when the new overpass was built. |

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. |

Sometimes odd stuff shows up |
| Description: |
The UP unit came in on NS; by this time, their power and BNSF were not much of a surprise. NYSW, however, did get some interesting visitors from other upstate short lines, since they did some repair work at Utica. Such is the case today, as in this VLIX C 420 in transit to somewhere at the Binghamton yard. |

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. |

NYSW would sometimes recrew trains at Chenango Bridge if they needed to stow the train somewhere for a while when they didnt have a crew ready immediately. One place they did this was at Chenango Bridge, where there was a long stretch with no crossings. Were at Kattelville Rd adjacent to the Chenango Valley school districts bus garage, where this CSX detour train has been stashed til theres a crew. |

| Description: |
NYSW would sometimes run a train up to Chenango Forks and stash it in the siding, perhaps because there was no room to hold a long train at Binghamton without making the local jobs lives difficult. As a result, you never knew what youd find there. Today, its an ex Cartier Alco with what appears to be an ex B&M GP 40-2, now a HATX lease unit, an ex NW SD 40, and a tunnel motor. |

Couple of classics |
| Description: |
The power is one of the three NYSW GP 18s, a unit that was acquired by a number of roads, but not on the scale of, say, the GP 9. At this point, the NYSW group may be the only ones still running. It sits next to the Lackawanna station, a building noted for its elegance, as much of the DLW stations were. |

On the Cincinnatus Branch |
| Description: |
Ive always found it interesting how many branch lines went off into the hills for short distances to serve small towns. One such line was the DLWs branch to Cincinnatus NY, about 15 miles east of Cortland. Though it was abandoned early-1940s-it had passenger trains. Youd think there would not be enough traffic to sustain it, but there, it was. There isnt much left now, just a couple of miles heading out toward Mc Graw, on which is located this Suit Kote plant, which we see being switched by GP 18 1800. |

Classic building |
| Description: |
Cortland had some attractive buildings in town. One was the DLW station, another was this classic factory. CL 1 passes while working in the city. |

Taking the switch |
| Description: |
BH 1 rolls through the switch onto the Syracuse Branch, one of the ex BN SD 45s leading 110 cars toward a CSX connection. He'll cross NY 12 in a moment, to the consternation of a long line of motorists. |

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. |

Cincinnatus branch |
| Description: |
The DLW had a branch to Cincinnatus NY, southesast of Cortland that was abandoned in the early 60's. A remnant of that line was used in Cortland to reach an asphalt plant run by Suit Kote. Here we see 1800 on the Tioghnioga River bridge on the branch returning from Suit Kote. |

On familiar turf |
| Description: |
A HATX lease unit leads BH 2 down the ramp at Old State Road as it heads out of Binghamton. The unit was once one of B&Ms last order of new diesels, a GP40-2 delivered in 1978, and a frequent visitor here via the D&H. |

Leased power on BH 2 |
| Description: |
Sometimes NYSW would run short of power, and find themselves in the lease market. Sometimes this meant some really ratty looking diesels. Here we see a pair of ex Guilford units at Old State Rd in Port Dick heading north late in the day. |
