Fantrip mixed |

In the early years of their operation of the Northern Division, the NYSW ran frequent excurions. On these trips, they were not above doing some freight work en route. Here a trip approaches Utica behind a C430/RS3 power consist, with a couple of boxcars and a dead C 430 to set off west of the station. |

Down on the farm |
Description: |
One of the most scenic places on the NYSW, indeed in New York, was Bairds farm near Warwick. It was a popular photo spot, and the family was gracious in allowing railfans access. It was a "must do" photo stop for the trip, which we see posed at the farm, along with some of JJ Youngs inflatable cows, imported from Binghamton for the occasion. |

Foggy morning train |
Description: |
NYSW ran all kinds of excursions. Walter Rich was a railfan, and used the railroad to his advantage to show shippers the facilities, as well as running excursions. Not sure what this one was for. We see a pair of B 40s at the former DLW station at Kingsley, well hidden in the gray of morning fog. |

Remember those?? |
Description: |
By 1990, the cost, availability, and ease of use had gotten to the point with consumer video equipment that it was no longer the preserve of high tech professionals, and just about anyone with a couple of bucks could get one and use it effectively. The result was, they were everywhere. This one is set up to catch the U&MV trip here at Whitney Point while its owner shoots film. Who would have imagined then that wed be taking video on our phones?? |

Rolling out of Union Station |
Description: |
Most people dont think of Utica as being a "union station" since in their experience it handles only Amtrak. For a period in the 1980s and 90s, it truly fit that description, handling not only Amtrak, but also trains to the 1980 Olympics, and the occasional NYSW excursion. The station is to the far right, out of the photo behind the white building. The ex NYC is to the left of the train; you can see the ex NYC tower just beyond the lead unit. I wonder if anyone took advantage of the connection for this trip. |

Classic building |
Description: |
A sad testimony to the decline of upstate NY is the number of once busy industrial buildings that have fallen on hard times, or simply just fallen down. The ones that are in good shape make great photo props, though. The U&MV trip passes the Waterville Knitting Mills, a business that long ago went south-literally-with the work most likely now done in China or Mexico. |

Returning to Utica |
Description: |
This foliage train has reached its southernmost point at Chenango Bridge, and is now headed back to Utica, this time with a C 430 leading, and doing what Alcos do like no other diesel. |
