RE: (erielack) NYS&W Happinings
The two low nose units were former high hood leased and have been on the
property for a few years now. They were rebuilt, chopped, and painted out
in western NY by private contractor.

Subject: (erielack) NYS&W Happinings
I noticed last week NYS&W purchased a couple "Low nose" SD-40-2's, I
spotted both in fresh "Yellow Jacket" paint in Little Ferry last week, John
Durant took this photo of one recently. (Former SOU/NS 3267) at Little
Ferry.

The two SD-40-2's I saw last week were bracketed between two SD-40T-2's
(ex-SP) also in Black and Yellow paint also. Fresh off the SU-100 this
lash-up must have looked awesome eastbound at places like Starucca and Mill
Rift!
Sadly it looks like the Cartier (MLW) M636's are not very reliable and
will never see NYS&W paint, how many remain in service? So right now It
looks as if the former EL Southern Tier will be dominated by six axle EMD's
once again.
Susquehanna operates two freights over the former EL, SU-99 and SU-100.
In Jersey these trains have about 30 to 50 cars, mostly wood chip hoppers
filled with garbage. And I have witnessed the SU-99 going west with pushers
for the haul over Sparta mountain a few times, how large are these trains
when they get to Gulf Summit, just curious if the NYS&W have ever had to use
a pusher there lately?
Also, do any of these freights do "any" local work along the former Erie
Lackawanna Delaware Division??
