Sydney was born in Medford, Massachusetts and attended Haverhill High School while living in West Newbury. Upon graduation from high school, Sydney served in the U.S. Army, receiving an honorable discharge at the rank of Corporal. After the Army, Sydney attended and graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. It was during his time at Northeastern that Sydney was first introduced to railroading by interning at the Boston and Maine Railroad in the Engineering Department. Following college graduation, Sydney began a career with the railroad that would span over 50 years, eventually becoming Vice President of Transportation and serving as a member of the Board of Directors for Pan Am Railways until his retirement in 2014.

Also reports suggest the OCS is resting at E Deerfield over the weekend to be used for another mission next week. Interestingly upon the conclusion of the westbound trip to Mechanicville, rather than wye the whole train, the PAR 1 and PAR 2 ran around the consist so PAR 2 became the leader (apparently a rare event). Thus the business car remains on the east end of the consist, suggesting next week's trip out of E Deerfield will be heading west again along D3 or north or south on the Conn River line.
