Eastern Railroad Discussion > NYS&W, Utica Branch, Paris Hill, NYDate: 05/10/19 14:10 NYS&W, Utica Branch, Paris Hill, NY Author: ut-1 This video focuses on New York, Susquehanna & Western's UT-1 ascent up Paris Hill's 1.8% grade today and, also, summit crested, passing through countryside in Waterville, NY.
At 21 cars, this is probably the biggest train of the year on the branch. NYS&W GP40 No. 3040 is up front while CSX leaser No. 9027, a C40-9W, provides a boost from the rear of the freight. The train is bound for Sangerfield, 23 miles south of Utica. You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos. Join Today!

BTW I had a stroke a little over a week ago and it really messed up my memory (brain type). I hoope I got your name right.

My guess is that keeping 9027 on the end helps keep it out of the way when the switching occurs. They switched over 6 hours there yesterday, the extra crewman comes in handy then as well. |
