Hey everyone, I'm new to this discussion board.

I'm kinda new to all this as well. Well anyways, I'm staying with my friend in Syracuse. His apartment faces the line the NYS&W used (not sure if it's owned by them too). Anyway, today I spotted a train using bi-level coaches with red (or maybe orange) stripes. It was too rainy out to go and get some pics. I was wondering are these being used for the orange express? Where did they come from?

Thanks!

Brad

Really? I need to get up to Syracuse... Anyways, the cars are most likely the ex. Chicago RTA cars that have been up there for quite some time. I wasn't aware they were in use yet though...

Hey!

I got some shots of them finally today. The quality kinda sucks, but you get the idea. I posted them on my MSN webspace if you want to see. Go to Photos then click 'Orange Express'.
