"Say Hey, Big Train On Schuyler Street!" NYSW Utica NY

It's just past 5pm on June 4, 2024 and a bigger-than-usual New York, Susquehanna & Western freight is heading north on Utica NY's Schuyler Street. Destination: the Susquehanna's Utica yard.

This is another interesting video of this long freight train driving along the road and announcing its arrival by honking. Always brilliantly filmed. I wish you a good day and remain with many greetings from Germany.

Great day for making train videos!

[@sondrabowers4837]

Good evening to you & Witold. WOW! Long train for Utica St.

[@paulbergen9114]

Nothing like a fine weather day to capture the passage of the Susie Q down the streets of Utica. That definitely is one of the longer trains you've photographed here with a decent variety of freight with everything apparently from potash and phosphates to liquid feed or fertilizer. Looks like the paper Warehouse moved out their fair share of cars at the end. It even seemed. ike they were moving a bit faster than average on the way home must have been a good BBQ dinner waiting. As you were waiting by the brewery I believe the pedestrian would have won a race with Bitold who probably had to have cool air today. Greetings from soggy Milwaukee and we don't need any more rain

Gawd, I wished it was mid-80ies over here this week… (now 62°F)

Watching from Clinton NY. Thanks for posting all of your interesting train videos.

[@richardbause2453]

They went south early Tuesday with 22 cars.

[@tylerg7567]

out of curiosity, what is the speed limit for the train when traveling on city streets? excellent video & documentation... 👍👍

[@williamh.jarvis6795]

I want to say that the speed limits for operating within the streets are defined as being RESTRICTED SPEED, as commonly defined by any Railroad Rules Book. Basically, it is a speed to which the engineer can stop the train within a distance on half as far as he/she can see, but not to exceed 15 (20?) mph. Look up: RAILROADS-RESTRICTED SPEED and check it out for yourself for the exact definitions.

Hey railroad rambler that's a unusualy long train. Don't see that to often.

[@richardsylvanus2717]

Good video. For some reason i cant view the replies on some of the comments

[@KickininMyRv90]

I would assume that the train has the right a way here.

[@guildpilotone]

Always happier when 3040 leads.

Including one brand new car with no graffiti

[@rideshareog]

....wait for it

[@yt650]

I am disturbed by graffiti on anything including railroad cars. It seems to me that the people who do that in many cases are accomplished artists. They want people to see their artwork and they generally tag them so people know it was done by a certain person or group of people. In San Francisco a number of years ago as soon as graffiti was spotted whether it be on a building or some other area like a bridge, a crew was immediately dispatched to spray over it with primer. Sometimes it takes hours to put this graffiti on stationary objects but it only takes a minute to deface it, I vote for that.

[@rideshareog]

@@yt650 I live very close to a rail line. It's easy to spot cars that have been on the west coast.

Great video, I enjoyed it!

What is the park across from the brewery?

[@railroadingrambler218]

It is a memorial to Sister Marianne Cope, canonized by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianne_Cope

[@jontaylor6068]

What’s the schedule for the brewery company for receiving a load?

[@railroadingrambler218]

No schedule, just as needed; usually once or twice per week

I really like seeing these street running train tracks they are very interesting watching the trains going down the middle of the street Thank You. 🛤 🚂🚃

[@lie-berry]

Me too. Before I found Railroading Rambler's channel, I didn't even know street trains existed.

[@williamh.jarvis6795]

​​@@lie-berry Myself, in September of 1996, I went to Erie, PA so to check out the W19th Street trackage of the Norfolk Southern Railroad. The rails, in 2002, in the street no longer exist as their right of way was relocated around, alongside CSX's east-west mainline. I chatted with a resident there who was unable to comprehend why I wanted to go out that way so to see trains running down the middle of a street! Obviously, this resident felt unlucky to live on a street where trains traveled down the middle of.

[@johncaselli9593]

Railroading Rambler, Very nice video of the street running of the NYS&W RR in Utica. I especially liked seeing (From the distance @ 4:05 in the video) the elevated crossing shanty. Is that cared for by a local railroad historical society, as it appears to be in good shape? Thank you. John
