Eastern Railroad Discussion > "Cold Beer Here!" NYS&W Utica BranchDate: 09/11/19 07:57 "Cold Beer Here!" NYS&W Utica Branch Author: ut-1 Unusual delivery on New York, Susquehanna & Western's Utica branch yesterday!
The beer was consigned to a beverage company in New York MIlls. I think it was Coors. I've never observed a "reefer" on this branch before. You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos.

I'll say one thing, those tracks sure need some re-tamping of the rail joints and shoving the ballast under those ties. That is a real dipsy doodle branch.

Posted from Android Date: 09/11/19 09:26 Re: "Cold Beer Here!" NYS&W Utica Branch Author: ut-1 Schuyler Street’s heritage is DL&W (tracks replaced late 80s/early 90s) the remainder is ex-West Shore.

NYS&W Utica Branch Author: ut-1 The ex-O&W Utica Division tracks come off the former West Shore tracks roughly 1/3 mile west of where the switching took place in the first half of the video.
There used to be a diamond where the O&W/West Shore met but that was eliminated approx 40 years ago. njmidland Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I thought some of that track was ex-NYO&W > > ut-1 Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > Schuyler Street’s heritage is DL&W (tracks > > replaced late 80s/early 90s) the remainder is > > ex-West Shore. > > > > Posted from iPhone Edited 2 time(s).

nearly seventy years ago? Out Date: 09/11/19 12:54 Re: "Cold Beer Here!" NYS&W Utica Branch Author: Lackawanna484 Thanks.
I knew there were a number of historical railroads in the area, but I didn't know how New York Mills fit into the mix. Date: 09/11/19 13:07 Re: "Cold Beer Here!" NYS&W Utica Branch Author: WM_1109 Blasphemous! Only Utica Club should be transported down Schuyler Street.
/Ted Date: 09/11/19 13:38 Re: "Cold Beer Here!" NYS&W Utica Branch Author: exprail I am guessing that car is one of the new CRYX RBL, insulated cars rather than a mechanical reefer ?. I can't see the other end to verify if
there is a refrigeration unit on the car. Thanks, for posting...it's always good to see rbl/reefer traffic. exprail Date: 09/11/19 13:49 Re: "Cold Beer Here!" NYS&W Utica Branch Author: Lackawanna484 There is a substantial wholesale beer, wine, and spirits distributor located just south of Burrstone Road. McCraith Beverages.
It would be great to see them receive more beer by rail. They carry a portfolio of impressive brands. https://www.mccraithbeverages.com/portfolio Date: 09/11/19 14:07 Re: "Cold Beer Here!" NYS&W Utica Branch Author: WM_1109 Lackawanna484 Wrote:

I like how they list Blue Moon as a "craft" brand. Also, referring to Anchor Brewing as Anchor Steam. . . Date: 09/15/19 08:20 Re: "Cold Beer Here!" NYS&W Utica Branch Author: dcfbalcoS1 Don't believe I would stand between the building and car to make the spot, Batter, safer places.
