"What In The Wide, Wide World Of Sports Is A-Goin' On Here!" NYS&W RY

[@dennywordkiller4253]

A "Blazing Saddles" quote in railfan video? Yup, that's a thumbs up!

[@dsmith9964]

"Blazing Saddles" has many quotable lines. We just don't use them in polite company! 😂

Awesome video thanks for sharing

[@williammiller2750]

Another SUPER video from Morrisville NY.

[@tvtoms]

This is great. I love this run and all of the awesome grade crossings and scenes along the way. Thanks!

[@annettelaurence5716]

Well, that was different. Thank you for making and sharing this video🙃

[@roberthammond9319]

That’s one of the longest trains I’ve seen in your videos! Quality camera work !

[@lie-berry]

The trees, sunlight, clouds and the shadowy train all came together just right for a lovely scene @18:12.

[@TheNorthwestWind]

Awesome catch!

[@vincentcardinal6236]

The 3040 must of been rebuilt it sounds new great video !

[@markarnold8160]

Thanks. I enjoyed the switching. Obviously then delivered the rear three cars next up and then a few more pickups to get the boxcars.

[@wtstfire]

This is awesome. Been tracing the old O & W line through Bridgewater, West Winfield, Depot Road near Miller's Mills, Chepatchet, South Columbia and on into Richfield Springs. I remember seeing a running engine at the Bridgewater Station and one stored in the engine house in RS.

[@backalleyrailroading2835]

What an outstanding video of this train at different locations... Love that Mohawk engine as I've never seen it before !!!

[@APizzaDriver]

How in the world did i miss this one? Thrilled of course for French Rd but you caught Seward Ave in it too! Walking to Chanatry's as a child, I would hope so much for a train because of the pedestrian arms coming down! Thank you!

[@timothynewton4453]

Tom T. Hall once sang "I Love" "Slow movin' trains and rain"; I love them old slow moving city trains, especially when I watched them pulled by the EMD E & F series engines.

[@dsmith9964]

I recall seeing EMD F7s and F9s on the L&N CC Line in the late 70s and early 80. When did CSX finally retire the F units?

[@timothynewton4453]

Conrail bought out New York Central, some E's & F's were kept, some sold to Penn Central, others retired. Some NYC have survived, one is at Medina , NY.@@dsmith9964

Hello from Los Angeles. As always an excellent video.

[@bobmeginnes324]

That was a terrific video... something for everyone. That's what real railroading looks like, not mile-long unit trains.

[@railroadingrambler218]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@gramps1]

It's good to see them sharing resources to keep the industry going. When Vanderbuilt , Durant and the boys controlled it, it was every man for himself. Especially if you owned the only railroad bridge into NYC. They would have never shared a track, much less an engine.

[@timothytoolman927]

RIP Al Gorney. He was much involved in the Adirondack RR.

[@cmdrflake]

Hi from Tonawanda NY! I think the MA&N may be looking at the Utica- Sangerfield line. The Suzy Q might, might be giving the Utica operation up. It is not clear what is happening here,though…we’ll find out…

[@paulbergen9114]

Well worth the chase as one could hear the Alco running at least on the trip back. When going outbound it looked like two cars of fertilizer up front. Two cars of animal feed in the middle and the last two cars were soybean meal. I dare to say I'm impressed by that firm unloading their three box cars while the train was out at the other end of the line. That type of car is loaded with paper or cardboard in Maine or New Brunswick as those cars go by on the old Pan Am Ander on Miller's Railfan channel..As for B-B power CSX is low on it since they took over the line up to Portland ME. It was a pleasant mid-60s day in Milwaukee sunny and a gentle breeze great weather to watch videos and @ 17:00 note the feline to the side of the track. Apparently Bitold sent his stand in to welcome the train home. Thanks again!

[@jimdep6542]

Thanks again. What was the last crossing in Utica where you were filming at about 2:20 ? Slim Pickens, Andy Devine, Chill Wills and especially Ken Curtis were some of my favorite character actors. So many good quotes to be had. Much appreciated.

[@RC944jim]

Rambler did you ever find out why 2042 was in the lineup? And once again thanks for the great videos you bring us all to enjoy!🤠

[@TheD1CT4T0R]

Maybe they were worried about rain and leaves on the rails, and borrowed some extra power for just in case?

nice catch of the old M420 in pooled power usage

[@randymarch5140]

Next time you video tape, when you are near the Durant farm like today, can you swing around and get picture of the Stoltzfus farm?

[@joemc111]

It’s nice New York still has farms and they are producing enough grain that the railroad is picking up and dropping off cars.

[@dsmith9964]

[@alwhalen3488]

Too bad the 2042 was not turned the other way. The extra set of ditch lights is really impressive to see coming at you. Really nice video.

[@ChasforU]

Can't help but wonder, "Why?". Certainly didn't need the 2042 for tonnage...maybe testing it for operation on the line---?

[@percismehta8959]

Will catch up later.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

Are the trains over any longer on that line that about norm? I'm surprised I have to borrow the other locomotive that little emd should have been able to take care of that few cars

[@tomp8871]

at @16:00 is that an old faded diamond you are filming at? And that tower speaks volumes.

[@railroadingrambler218]

Not a diamond but an old spur line (approx 2 miles) known as the "Blue Line" since it ran along the southerly line of the old Erie Canal (present-day Oriskany Blvd). This line was blue on survey maps, hence the name. The Blue Line saw service through the early 1990s I believe.

@@SMichaelDeHart Seen it, been there done that. When Slim says it, it's just like 'how did they think of that' ? But I was just reminiscing about the show Wide World of Sports as well. It was on well before the movie came out and ran a long time. Great sports program.

[@teodelfuego]

I hired you people to try to lay a little track!

[@ChrisStrogen]

I,ll bet they asked CSX for a four axle engine and they told them no. CSX short on power espically for axle engines.

[@railroadingrambler218]

That very well could be as CSX is where they usually go to when an extra engine is needed.

[@MarkCinque-q9z]

Nice,0:47

[@jbreezy101]

Was that engine ever on “Atomic Train”?

[@jbreezy101]

Yes it is… per the comments and the IMDb, it was the lead loco for the runaway in that movie. Looks more like the lead loco in the chase train though!
