Motive Power Update?

How is NYSW coming along on the power shortage? Do we have any up to date locomotive rosters?

Cartier 78 has been drilling Binghamton yard. I have also seen 4002, and 4006. one of the E-8's has been out front. An ex- NW Sd40 has just been sitting there.

So far i have heard online that the NYSW is supposed to get 6 ALCo and MLW units in total. Two were recieved within the last 2 weeks and both are getting fixed up and readied for service.

Somewhere in the midwest, i forget who's leasing them. But NYSW is making a profit off it.

Do they use any engnins with 4 axels, or is at all big stuff.

No, one of the E-units has been here in Bonghamton for a while. It's 2402

Bystander, they use SD45's, Ex-NS SD40's, and GP40's (all high nose) GP20's, a GP38, a GP40, SD40T-2's, MLW 636's, B40-8's, E8's, a NW2, a SW1. Probably more i haven't seen. F45 3636 is unknown whether it will ever run again.

Just some clarification. The ex NS units are all high hoods except i think one got chopped and got the nose of one of the srapped 45's. The GP40 leasers they have are all ex Guilford and all low noses. I think there are three of those in total.

I really hope they bring back 3636....
