Just got news that NYSW 3636 is on a CSX train, headed for Chicago, IL. Anyone know why their doing this?

supposedly for nysw using some csx power and having it longer then they should've. Kinda like, you took ours, we're taking yours.

csx 8514 i believe it is, has been on the nysw fuel track with a seized wheel.

In Ridgefield Pk, NJ this AM, 3 big CSX GE's were parked just south/east of the turnpike in the Susquehannah yard, adjacent to the CSX auto rack tracks

NYSW 3636 is now headed to Buffalo, NY, possibly from New Castle, PA?

3636 was Eastbound through Rochester, NY, on the CSX Chicago line,
7pm Tuesday August 8.
She was the trailing unit, front of unit pointing West.

yep, it goes straight to Syracuse..
thats the old New York Central Mainline..
runs from Chicago, east through:
Toledo
Cleveland
Buffalo
Rochester
Syracuse
Albany
then down the hudson to New York City.

(well..CSX doesnt have the entire NYC to Chicago anymore..parts of the "Water Level Route" mainline are now NS..but you know what I mean..)
All of the New York Central mainline inside *New York State" is CSX today..
