Are any of these still in service? I haven't seen one in a long time. These are the cars which were retrucked at Utica for C&D service. They were also the only cars with NYS&W reporting marks in revenue service. Are there any other cars in revenue service with Suskie reporting marks now?? Thanks for any info.

A string of the 70 ton BAR Wood Chip cars are still in Utica Yard. The trucks on this group were never upgraded to 100 ton. About five car sets of 100 ton trucks are also in yard when conversions were canceled.

Every time the NYS&W had a derailment, they gained more sets of conversion trucks... lol -
