Probably Binghamton.

West of CP-Sparrow (west side of Port Jervis), they are on NS trackage.

I think technically once they get to CP-Sparrow it turns to CNY trackage and the trains need NYSW crews for the run up until Binghamton.

CNY leases it. NS owns it. I'm pretty sure NS can still run their own trains there, should they decide to, whenever they want (subject to NYS&W traffic and dispatching,of course).

Saw what appeared to be SU100 on Saturday morning at Campbell Hall around 8am, led by a CSX SD Dark future unit

SD70M, a second csx unit and i believe 2 nysw's. They had 2 99's go out that night.

NS can still run trains over the Tier from Binghamton to Sparrow. Part of the agreement was that they retained overhead trackage rights over the segment
