[RF] - Chasing the NYS&W SU-99 from Campbell Hall to Cortland - Southern Tier/Syracuse Branch

In this video, we'll chase the New York, Susquehanna & Western SU-99 from Campbell Hall to Cortland, NY over the Southern Tier on Metro-North and the Central New York Railroad, and then over the NYSW Syracuse Branch. Almost every locomotive class provided power on this train with an SD70M-2, SD40T-2, SD40-2, and SD33ECO pulling 72 cars to Binghamton. After Binghamton, the power swapped to two SD40s and an SD70M-2 with 109 cars to Cortland. As always, the CNYK is a railfan's treat with many well-known locations, historic signals, the assault on Gulf Summit, and still almost completely jointed rail. Although a mostly nocturnal journey, there are still plenty of sights and sounds to take in along the once prominent mainline! Enjoy!

Thanks!

Love this video!! Especially Hawks nest Reminds me when I was younger my Father and I chased SLN-3 through the night from Riverdale NJ to Bingo NY just to get a picture of F45 3636 which was freshly painted. At the time the speed limit was 10 mph on the newly rehabbed line and the new Campbell Hall connection was not in yet so it took hours to get on the southern tier. We got our daylight picture at Port Jervis at 06:30 and chased him up the river to Binghamton.

Awesome story! If only I could hop in my time machine . . . Though it is more difficult these days to catch the run up the river, everytime I do I make the best of it, while it may not be Sealand stacks with SDs and Fs, this is the next best thing!
