"All Ok Until...." NYSW Utica NY Branch

[@harrydoku8268]

It's cold, and snowing and the train is coming down the street in December. Beautiful way to start the Christmas season.

[@curtvote1099]

Love love love that turbo sound!

[@backalleyrailroading2835]

You always do such a great job of covering the street running local. Even when you need to hitch a ride to get out there !!

[@kevinhenry7273]

Thanks to your sister for being a good egg and spending some time with you. Hope you supplied her with coffee of hot choclate.

[@railroadingrambler218]

I took her to lunch!

[@wannabetrucker7475]

That was a beautiful shot of the train across the snowy fields.. thanks to sis too

[@shortliner68]

The yellow and black paint scheme looks really good against the snow covered scenery.

[@valeriebassett3107]

Watching from Ohio. We enjoy every video you share with us. Really enjoyed the campfire one and enjoy seeing Witold too!!! ❤️🙏

[@stephenpearce3475]

Hi from York, England, and thanks for another great video. You seem to have a knack of catching interesting things happening on the rails around Utica! Thanks also to your kind sister; her lunch was well deserved!

[@kmfsinny8436]

I absolutely love the grey house on the hill in Clayville. It has the added bonus of trains passing by

[@railroadingrambler218]

It’s a fine old home.

[@erie910]

Always enjoy your street-running videos! Having run trains in 10th St. in Noblesville, IN (before the track was removed), I appreciate very much the challenges that the Susquehanna face.

[@rogertemple7193]

Awesome street running trains in Utica with snow falling. 🚂🚃🚃🇺🇲

[@davidhill7914]

Looking in from North Yorkshire, England. No snow here yet, just frosty mornings. Thanks for another wonderful video.

[@tleander40]

Snow! You lucky!!! and thank heavens for awesome sisters!!!

[@johncaselli9593]

Railroading Rambler, Excellent video! Your excellent narration accompanying the video was very helpful to those of us fellow railfans that do not know the area, as I was able to follow along using Google Earth to for the movement of the train. Also, a big thank you to your sister to assist with transporting you, due to your car being in the shop to railfan. Thank you. John

[@guildpilotone]

Thanks to your sister! Greetings from the Florida Gulf Coast.

[@wolfgangpfeilergartenbahnd6530]

Excellent pictures of the freight train as it drives through the city. Thanks for your video.

[@trainencounters586]

Really enjoy your videos of Utica featuring the 3040. I purchased my tiny Atlas model of it at the Syracuse show last month, being inspired by your videos. My version came with sound. Thanks to you, I'll know what the horn should sound like. Love your winter shots. Please keep posting more videos of the 3040. And thank you too for the history of the tracks we are seeing.

[@barrettwbenton]

LOVE seeing this upstate action (and kudos to your sister for indulging your snowy adventures-cheers to you, Maryanne! (Hope I spelled your name right.)

[@Rickytrainwrestlingfan55]

I'm watching from Paris Tennessee and I enjoy watching your shows

[@jeffersonspace]

Thanks Railroading Rambler, and Mary Ann. Watching from Miami. Beautiful scenery!

[@ironwheelsroaming]

[@mariofilippi3539]

Thanks to you and Sis for the video. No snow in NJ so have to watch your videos to see some, thanks very much.

[@kurtnastasi5474]

Another great Video! Don’t hardly ever see snow in New Orleans!

[@CarolYannes]

Another great looking video. You have a terrific for driving you around like she did.

[@Eldude2112]

Beginning the 12 hour drive to Utica tomorrow night for the weekend...at least I know the weather now thanks to you!

[@frankjankovich3512]

Nice to see family helping out

[@mattn3273]

Beautiful sounding Horn

[@datalasse]

Yet another great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@chrisbuxton1958]

Really enjoyed this video. Best wishes to you all, especially your sister 😂.

[@wannabetrucker7475]

Sure enjoy seeing scenes from "back home" ❤❤

[@richintalent]

When I used to commute to Utica on route 8 I used to cross a set of tracks between Bridgewater and either Clayville or Cassville. They were marked with an "EXEMPT" sign, and the last time I was there back in the 1990s they were tearing up the tracks.

[@railroadingrambler218]

Yes, the Richfield Springs branch, 22 miles from Cassville’s Richfield Junction to Richfield Springs. An active narrow gauge railroad operates on part on that right of way today (Utica, Chenango & Susquehanna Valley)

[@robertmartin4847]

Watching from Kingston, Ontario where we can see the clouds coming off the Lake Ontario to the south and you know somewhere between Watertown and Syracuse is getting the lake effect

[@paulbergen9114]

So as a post Thanksgiving treat your sister was kind enough to do the driving in inclement weather to follow the NYSW. Meanwhile I can picture Witold curled up by the office heaters. @1:22 the drawing on the side of the car looked like Garfield who would be the perfect nemesis for Witold. From the crossing protection to the unit sitting by the bushes in the park like setting then finally making the run on the hill It was short line railroading at its best. After years of driving in the snow for a living it's nice to sit back and watch the snowflakes fall as the train goes through the winter wonderland While the snow passes us by in Milwaukee We have 40 mph winds today.

[@Heyde1979]

Thank you Jared from White Plains, NY

[@littlelittledeer1435]

Perfection! Watching from Southern Oregon.

[@ronsimpson9786]

We got a rare dusting in Central North Carolina today. Thanks as always.

[@土浦乗り鉄]

[@kolejnakolej.1437]

Interesting video. Winter greetings from Poland. 👍

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

[@anthonymaida5718]

Another GREAT Video you have such a nice sister Watching from Port Chester NY in Westchester County

[@Its_Just_Chris__]

*Thank you Mary Ann* ❤

[@Bhil3]

Great video. I’m glad your sister took you to see trains.

[@williammiller2750]

Great video from Okeechobee Florida.

[@gp3829]

Hi from the Scottish Borders and thanks for another video.

[@MarioMaurizi]

Thanks from Pennsylvania enjoy your video

[@chrisbuxton1958]

Is that the famous ‘battleground’ state?

Cool video, well done!

[@tfs4499]

Great video!

[@bornjamerican52]

Hello 👋🏾 from Brooklyn NY

[@davidstearns9664]

Family doesn't always understand our hobbies

[@erie910]

Good that the conductor didn't bottle the air when the engine dropped the hoppers.

[@redhawk4859]

Watching from Siler City City North Carolina

[@gregmoyer8959]

Thanks for the video, you much like me have a Great Sister, I love her car 🚙

[@noeyesmike]

COOL !!

[@LesaShiminski]

Hey rail rambler your sister is awesome for taking you train chasing. I'm surprised engine can't handle 3 loads on grade. Must be to small for not enough horse power. 🤷 Love the winter scenes.

[@railroadingrambler218]

Glad you liked the video. 3040 is tonnage restricted to 7 loads up Paris Hill to Sangerfield. Sometimes, as seen in the video, that’s not enough to guarantee things will work out smoothly. Yes, my sister earned a gold star for her assistance!

[@Nancy-xv1et]

I have a challenge for fans....complete the following sentence.... "I know Schuyler St better than I know....(name a street you used to live on and no longer visit....) Briscoe St , London Ont Canada...... bonus points for anyone with a street running track in your past!!! Tks Maryann!!!

[@cmdrflake]

Winter has arrived in Tonawanda! 😑 ugh! The wind shifted and…

[@jameswillemin9038]

Funny how the train runs the stop signs on Schuyler St....

[@erie910]

When the South Shore ran in 10th & 11th Sts. in Michigan City,IN, the traffic signals were synchronized with rail movements. The trains always got green traffic signals, and the cross streets all had red.

[@stevemar7952]

Have you ever caught them pushing cars into the Oneida warehouse building? I've seen the door open with boxcars inside.

[@railroadingrambler218]

Yes, January 2021 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rouyYYx5eM6SadU

[@stevemar7952]

Excellent. Just watched thanks!

[@ggreg2258]

Would love to live on that street with the trains passing my front porch----as long as they didn't shale the plaster off the walls! !

[@kmfsinny8436]

When I was buying a house, my son (then 8) insisted i buy it on Schuyler St 😂

[@MuzafferZara]

👏

[@kennyspry5189]

Don't quite understand that Engine has plenty of Horsepower to bring those Cars up the hill.

[@railroadingrambler218]

3040 is limited to 7 loads up Paris Hill

[@railroadingrambler218]

And weather conditions can even make taking fewer cars than 7 up the hill a dicey proposition

[@Joe-d7m6k]

I wonder if a C430 would have the same trouble, with a small train, on that grade??

[@McCracken_9]

Blew right through a stop sign.

[@bjftype8288]

1 in 55 to 1 in 56 in British railway parlance. Just thought you would like to know.

[@davesmith7748]

looks like the car changed colour at the end......?

[@garybarnett7284]

How is it determined when to use a flagman at the crossing or use a flare?

[@erie910]

A flagger (conductor, brakeman, or anyone qualified on the rules) flags a crossing when normal protection is inoperative. A flag is suitable in daylight. A fusee works at night. Some flaggers light a fusee and drop it at the crossing. Others will extinguish the fusee after the train occupies the crossing.

[@garybarnett7284]

Why don't NYSW buy the CSX line from Syracuse to Canada?

[@rickchapman9232]

You didn’t get hammered like the others?

[@railroadingrambler218]

Correct, the big snowfall was much farther north

[@bjftype8288]

Sorry, that's Paris hills 1.8% grade. Just to make that clear.

[@railroadingrambler218]

Thanks!

[@juergenamlinger4410]

Hobo shoestring big sleepout under a train bridge with fire in a 40 gallon burn barel.? To remember hobo shoestring.

[@railroadingrambler218]

I enjoyed his videos, sad that he’s gone.

[@coltonfox4928]

They should have kept the 4423. Wonder how long until that returns now.

[@thomasabramson100]

Isnt that the former Erie Lackawanna Binghampton Utica main???

[@railroadingrambler218]

Yes indeed

[@richintalent]

Is Witold a Portuguese water dog? Also do you think there will ever be trains on the branch through Norwich again?

[@railroadingrambler218]

He’s a curly-coated retriever an old English breed. Unfortunately, I doubt whether regular service through Norwich will ever return. It’d take a big customer to come in for that to occur

[@richintalent]

@railroadingrambler218 I read somewhere that Chobani had expressed an interest in rail, but with them selling the Woods Corners property I guess that won't be happening.
