Happy New Year! Speaking of frigid weather, the Christmas visit to my parents' home in Utica in 1980 still gives me the chills. The high temperature on Christmas Day reached a balmy -2°F. Low was -21°F. The snow goes crackle and crunch underfoot. Viewing from San Luis Obispo, CA.

The Mrs. and I were driving just over by there earlier this morning while back home on vacation and we were wondering if we might catch you out filming. Beautiful gorgeous sunny days for sure,...but much much colder for this holiday trip than it has been for other recent past Christmas trips we have made back home.

[@lorettacaputo6997]

We pass that factory often and have wondered what they make in it. Can you tell me? Nice video seeing the switch moves in action. Edmeston, NY

[@railroadingrambler218]

The warehouse receives paper, last I knew it comes in the form of 500 pound bales. From there, it's trucked out to support printing of all kinds and, I think, making of cardboard boxes. The building housed Mohawk Containers for decades. They made cardboard boxes. I don't believe any manufacturing occurs there now.

[@lorettacaputo6997]

@@railroadingrambler218 Thanks for your answer.

[@bennettdickmann1602]

I take it there is a Wye or a “runaround” between Skyler Street and the point of boxcar delivery. Otherwise, we have witnessed a real magic trick.

[@railroadingrambler218]

They back down a spur off former New York, Ontario & Western Utica Division tracks (a mile or so off the Susquehanna's Utica mainline). Check out this video beginning at the 7:14 mark: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2eVqolvoK6Mers

[@ModMokkaMatti]

I'm curious to know what those particular reporting marks on several of the non-Norfolk Southern-liveried red boxcars stand for - it appears that those have the older "circle and cross" BNSF marking on what would be their upper right hand sides, but the alphabetical reporting mark on the left side of the cars reads "ATW"? I don't know if I've noticed that before elsewhere. FWIW, I have to keep reminding myself that it's nearly January and there are other parts of the country that are having typical winter weather, even if where I am isn't. Out here in the lowlands along the Puget Sound in the PNW, we're still experiencing balmy daytime temps in the upper 40s/low 50s, and nighttime temps in the lower 40s with plenty of our typical rain - though there are reports today of notable snowfall in the Cascade mountain passes to the east. Hope that Witold was treated to a nice Christmas and got some interesting things from Santa Claws 😊. Stay safe, and best wishes for a Happy New Year to you! Looking forward to seeing some more action in 2025.

[@douglasashleigh4989]

Really enjoy your videos, RR. sudden thought here: why do I have the feeling that NYSW is barely eking out a profit? Do their road trains make up for the sparse business on the short hauls?

[@rickchapman9232]

Those two vehicles couldn’t win for losing, had to wait on the truck then wait for the train.

[@mathewrufrano7833]

How did the train get into the correct position to back into the customer? Is there a “Y” where train can turn? It didn’t appear to do a run-around. Long Island, NY

[@railroadingrambler218]

They back up off a spur. Watch this video from the 7:14 mark on to observe the move if you'd like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2eVqolvoK6Mers

Question? Is there such things as heated rail wheels or rails?

[@railroadingrambler218]

Well, on some mainline railroads the automatic switches are heated to prevent them from freezing up
