Hi Yorkshire England I love this rail line in Utica I've seen a few of these videos I'm fascinated by street running trains in the USA! I especially love Schuyler Street, I would love to live in a house on that street sitting on the porch in summer watching the trains go by. Fab video. ❤😊👍I'm visiting New York later this year for the first time.

[@paulbergen9114]

Still in Beertown Milwaukee a nice train and appreciate the new angles where a well manicured lawn runs right up to the tracks and the other Crossing with the stone barrier. Also unique is that both of those Crossings Crossings have dueling metal Bells usually it's just one. That third covered Hopper has a strong resemblance to one of the Shortline covered hoppers built by Evans US Railway Equipment for the Atlantic and Western RR

[@railroadingrambler218]

There used to be a siding at that location where the house is located; saw a photo of a hopper there from prob 100+ years ago

Hello from Delanson,NY. Like your videos of the Utica to Zangerfield area and the runs to Tupper Lake. Hoping to get out to that area and see the NYS&W in person some time. Glad that Witold thought you two better get out there and see that everything running okay on the rails. Thanks and take care.

Hallo, I'am watching your video's from Utrecht in the Netherlands. Here is no street running to find anymore.

[@railroadingrambler218]

Street running isn’t unheard of here but it’s not commonplace. My girlfriend’s late mom was born in the Netherlands and lived through the occupation. Nice to hear from you, thanks for commenting.

[@lesashiminski690]

Hey rail rambler always fun watching UT1 on scyler St. Do you have a scanner to listen to them?.

[@lie-berry]

Regards to you and Witold. Let us hope they don't saw the branch off behind them, as some sawyers have been known to do. Luckily, we have #3040 so everything should be ok. He knows his business.

Just curious does anyone know why the NYS & Western runs 2 locomotives for 10 car trains ? Is the Paris Hill grade that steep that 1040 can’t pull the load on its own? Thanks

[@railroadingrambler218]

3040 is limited to taking 7 loads up Paris Hill hence the need for another locomotive during the annual spring spike in traffic to Sangerfield. Paris Hill was the toughest mainline grade on predecessor road Delaware, Lackawanna & Western. It is several miles long and curvy.

[@roberthammond9319]

Thanks railroad rambler

[@petercruikshank2618]

Greetings from Tampa! I miss upstate NY having spent Summers and college days there. Thanks for taking me back.😊

[@s16100]

Akron Ohio, How many trains a day use that line up that grade? That track is in really good shape.

[@railroadingrambler218]

The line has received much work in the last 5 years or so. Until the last year, there were several slow orders on Paris Hill. No longer, they zip right along. Traffic on the Hill spikes each spring; near daily usage now (one train making 46 mile round trip)

[@DaveB1336]

My grandson has 2 questions. 1. Why are there 2 engines most of the time? 2. Are cabooses only for passenger trains?

[@railroadingrambler218]

Two engines are required to move the train up Paris Hill’s tough, miles-long curvy grade. Cabooses haven’t been in regular service on freight trains since the 1980s. They aren’t used on passenger trains at all.
