SU99/SU100 Thread

[Kaback9]

SU99 from 8/30/2010. On duty @ 4:30P with a 5P departure.

3014 on the point with 8828 and 2732 trailing with 16 cars. At Lackawaxen they picked up a cut of Gondolas from the Stourbridge Line.

Enjoy!

More photos and videos to come from Kaback and NJT4111.

Why so small all of the sudden? In the beginning of the summer, they had 70 car monsters with 5 engines on it three times a week. 16 car?!?!

Relax, just because a train is small one night does not mean the entire railroad has tanked.

SU100: Mon-Wed-Fri Mornings (normally very early).
SU99: Mon-Wed-Fri Evenings (departure anywhere between 3pm and 9:30pm depending on crew rest time).

what time does it usually pass through Wyckoff or Midland Park?

what time does it usually pass through Wyckoff or Midland Park?

Usually about 35-40 minutes after it departs Little Ferry.

Does either the SU99 or SU100 continue up the Syracuse Branch, or do trains North of Binghamton have different symbols?

[mainetrain]

I believe 99/100 ends/ begins in Binghamton. Other trains from Binghamton have different symbols

For the most part, SU99/100 do work their way up there, not in their entirety and with different symbols. I'm not sure exactly which, but for example: SY-1 I've seen before.

Hi All,

I would like to know if the SU-99 is still running Westbound from Little Ferry to Binghamton on Mon-Wed-Fri in the evenings? If so what is the usual or typical departure times? When do the locals run now-a-days? Lastly how long does it take for the SU-99 to get to the Riverdale - Pompton Lakes - Butler area from its departure origination in Little Ferry? Thanks.

Yes the 99 is running M/W/F, usually leaves LF around 530 depending on various factors. Rail time to Riverdale/Butler is approx an hour...locals run 24/7, mostly on the southern end, but the WS-5 or 6 runs to Sparta most nights, and follows the 99 out by about an hour...less if it needs to push

Good evening,

I caught the SU-99 roll through Pompton Lakes @ Pompton Lakes Train Station heading Westbound around 5:45 PM last Friday (4/15/2011). The power was NS 5293 leading with 3 Suzies hooked up right behind. 2 of the Suzies were 3018 & 3012. Not sure the number of the 3rd Suzy. They were pulling a mixed manifest of freight cars including covered hoppers, those garbage or debris cars (open hoppers), tank cars, box cars, etc.

I caught the SU-99 again this past Monday (4/18/2011) up in Butler @ Butler Train Station heading Westbound around 5:45 PM or so snaking up that grade incline with 2 Suzies pulling hard. The lead loco was number 3016. I did not catch the number of the 2nd loco. They were pulling mainly a manifest of covered hoppers and those garbage or debris cars (open hoppers) plus some others. This train was not as long as the one on Friday.

By the way I got some nice photos of the action. I used a 35 mm film loaded camera. I would like to post some of these pictures here . Can anyone tell me how I can get them up and onto this forum thread - thanks and happy sightings.

[21stCenturyLtd]

Its usually there earlier than that. It was there about 5:20-30 or so. You missed the local by a few minutes too. That was there a little after 7.
