As luck would have it, I got called for an Ethanol train out of the hotel in Selkirk on Wednesday morning. I had hoped to get some pics of the SD70M's before they left town for the New England Central (NECR), and i wasnt disappointed. There was a CN/BNSF set of power parked along side the NYSW units, which made photgrasphic opportunities limited at best. I was able however to grab a few images as we left the enginehouse, so here they are:
The 4050:

Finally, a nose shot of the 4052; the only shot i could get of the unit:

As an "added attraction", here are a few Non-NYSW images taken at work:

And finally, a view of CP-1, where the River Subdivision meets the Conrail Northern Branch. the building on the right is the cNYSW customer who ships out the big grey TLAX garbage cars on the 99's:
