"Call Out Old Yeller!" NYS&W Utica Branch Plow Extra
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 02. 2022
- On Feb 4, 2022, a major snowstorm dropped 12-18 inches of snow on the Utica NY area.
On Feb 8th, the New York, Susquehanna & Western plowed its Utica branch down to Sangerfield, 23 miles south of the road's Utica yard.
The plow: Sixty-eight year-old "Old Yeller," No. 93, built by OF Jordan in Dec 1953 and acquired by the Susquehanna from Griffiss Air Force Base, Rome NY, when the base closed in the mid-1990s.
The plow extra is first seen heading south on Utica's Schuyler Street. Following scenes: South Utica, Chadwicks, Clayville, Marshall and, finally, back in Utica near the end of the work day.
I'm watching from eastern West Virginia. Lived in North Utica until 1963. I remember the snow!
When I first moved to Utica, I nearly had a heart attack when I came upon a train on the street. The plow is much more intimidating lol
Of all the dumb places for a railroad, through the center of town, especially the residential part.
@@oriolesfan7807 That railroad was likely there long before the street and neighborhood.
@@oriolesfan7807 There is street trackage in quite a few places around the U.S. Take a look at LaGrange Kentucky for example. A CSX mainline runs right through a few blocks of the downtown.
@@oriolesfan7807 you have got to be kidding right !!
Ontario Canada watcher here. Love old train history.
Watching from Grand Blanc Michigan.... Loved trains all my life...
Me too!!
Thanks for the video. I am a former NYSW engineer retired in 2011. Home terminal was Binghamton, mostly on trains to Little Ferry NJ.
These are beautiful shots for anyone who loves trains and suffered through the ghastly winters of New York. Fantastic!!!
I live in Clinton, on the north side of Hamilton College. I am recently retired. For 44 years, I was the DHIA milk tester for the dairy farms in Paris Station. There are 4 farms whose land borders
the track, all located on Summit Road. I tested for 3 of them. Your videos are great.
Watching from Croydon Hills, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia - ❤️ love the horn sounds and snow ❄️
Nice. From the UK and my 76 year old mother loves watching them as well
Watching from Durham, North Carolina, formerly Greene, New York. Spent many happy times exploring this line and watching trains on this line throughout its length.
Hi from Dublin Ireland, and i love trains, keep up the good work.
Watching from Ottawa. I love trains in snow
Watching from Portland, Ore. Born, raised, and lived the majority of my life in New York State. Thanks for a very well done video. Now I'm ready for hot cocoa, grilled cheese sandwich, and Campbells tomato soup!
Watching from Indianapolis, native of Geneseo, NY, took the DL&W to New York City from Mt. Morris for our Senior Trip in 1957. Great camera work. Thanks.
Watching from Camden NY...Ex-GAFB employee who knew several of the GAFB crew.....great to see these cars still alive and active
I miss the trout fishing around Camden NY.
I live in Fort Worth Texas and I love trains enjoyed your time in sharing your videos awesome copilot my compliments sir
Well it was good to see Witold in his red collar. He looked great. We also got a lot of snow here in central Ohio. I really enjoyed seeing the snow plow out. Your snow looked like it was dry. We had hours and hours of freezing rain and sleet, then we were blessed with 3 to 5 inches of snow. Thank you for your videos, we really enjoy hearing from you and watching your videos too!
We're getting a good melt here now but temps will dip soon and more snow's on the way. Witold's built up quite a fan base, lol.
@@railroadingrambler218 You and him have become an inspiration to all of us. My husband and I are retired and he has had 4 surgeries in 2 years. We don't get out much, you have kept us going, so appreciate you and Witold so much. Keep up the fantastic job of great videos. Keep safe, warm and healthy, both of you. ❤️
Brooklyn, NY on a balmy 50 degree day. As a youth I loved watching the New Haven RR electrics pull long freights on the Bay Ridge line. The cars were floated across the harbor and landed near the Brooklyn Army terminal. This stopped in 1969 when the Penn-Central stopped the float service and cut the catenary on the line. Now there is talk of adding this line to the subway system as a cross Brooklyn and Queens line.
I live in the eastern Panhandle of West Virginia and work down in Southern Virginia. I was born and raised in Rome, New York. I happened upon this channel by watch other train videos and have stuck with it ever since. Until I started watching your video I had no idea the train actively ran on the streets for Utica to get to the old Utica Club Brewer. Watching your videos remind me of home.
Watching from Melbourne Australia in the middle of our Summer. Overcast today 25° Celsius, just nice and easy.
Not as much snow as passed years! This is the first time to see the plow work! Mostly seen in the yard, in the summer time! Like the air operated wings. Great work filming from South Utica. Thanks from Fairfield, NY👍🏻🚂
Watching from Salt Lake City, UT. I hail from Ithaca but have maintained a keen interest in upstate NY railroading since moving to the West. Thanks for a most interesting video!
Watching from Northwest Indiana (Next Door to Chicago) with the Lake Effect we get here, lived in Utica from 1984-1991 and remembered the Passenger Special the Susie-Q ran.
I’m watching from Seattle Washington, I grew up on Paris Hill, so really enjoyed the video. Thank you for posting it.
Watching these from Victoria, Australia during summer at least gives me the illusion of feeling cooler. :)
Also Victoria, Australia
Now viewing from New Hartford, NY. Originally from Gillespie Illinois. The IC and ITS split our town in half two to four times a day with LOOONG freights. It came down the middle of main street and split it till it left town on the southern side of town. That was so long ago that there was not even graffiti on rail cars then. Hoggers would wave and blow the horn to an excited kid and just totally make his day.. Yep, those were the "good ole days", for me any way. I can hear the train here when they are switching around the old Jefferson Smurfit facility. Have done a few mad scrambles to get shoes on and camera packed to chase it in the area. It is super nice to sit here in my WARM and watch your fine chasing and photography!! I can't feel the whistle, or smell the exhaust, but I won't get arrested for illegal photo parking. Thank you for all the wonderful rail trips you have taken me on through here.
We’re practically neighbors I suppose as I live just off Paris Rd about a mile from the Presbyterian Church
Watching from Switzerland/Walensee. Great video, thanks! Love the snow, plow and the dog!
Sebastopol, CA - always enjoy watching railroad and snow plows at work. Thank you.

Thanks for including the shot of the father and daughter, a lot of people would have avoided or cut it out.
But I must add "Bring back #3040, I miss you".
I was glad to include the father-daughter scenes as I believe they added a nice touch to the video. Always good to hear from you, thanks for commenting!
Watching from Southern Oregon. Thanks to you (& Vito) for another wonderful video. Always great!
Captured that nicely. The last snow plough assignment in Berlin was in 1998 in Berlin. Since then, the snow depths in Berlin have been so clear without a snow plough. In this winter we have no snow. Greetings from Berlin/ Germany. Sven
Hi Steve born and raised in Hickory, graduate of Fort Cherry
Watching from Edmeston, NY. I do go up to Utica at times, but never get to be lucky enough to see street railroading. Thanks you for bringing these views to us.
Keith from Bethlehem GA.

Living in central Illinois it’s always good to see things I can’t see here. A plow and street running. Illinois Terminal used to street run here decades ago but was before my time. Thanks for sharing your outstanding footage 👍
Watching from York, England. Thanks for a great video; we don't get snow like that in the UK these days! Glad Witold wanted a closer look at the plow.... 🙂
watching from Glasgow Scotland uk.
My grand father was a coal tender on the Mohawk and Malone railroad. Love these videos and I never knew my grandfather
Watching this video from Granby, Quebec Canada where the tracks are all gone and we have no trains since 1993. So except for my railfanning excursions and my work in Noyan, the only trains I see are on the internet. Enjoy your channel, love the NYS & W livery, and Utica Club beer. Great looking dog !
Enjoying your video and watching from Beavercreek, Ohio (Southwest Ohio). I noticed that there were no cars parked on Schuyler St. probably because a snow emergency was declared. This made it nice for the engine and plow unit not having to contend with those 4 wheelers on the street. That Jordan Spreader is built like a huge tank, no wonder it’s been around so long. Plenty of ice with 6” of snow on top down here. Keep those great videos coming!
We do have snow emergency a lot. You have to be off the street by 10pm. Not exactly sure when it's ok to go, cause I just stay home for 2 days 😂
Watching from Menasha, Wisconsin. Thanks for going out in the elements and sharing the video. Nice plow, nice doggy companion!
I live in Shohola Pa. about 12 miles west of Port Jervis. N.Y. My home is about 3 miles from the N.Y.S.W. tracks. The tracks go through an area called Parkers Glen Pa. an abandoned blue stone quarry town, heavily damaged by the flood of 1955. In the past I have often gone down the end of our dead end road to see the train pass, usually between 11:00 pm and midnight on its way from Binghamton N.Y. to Ridgefield Park N.J. and sometimes I catch the return trip, I always wanted to see the snow plow go by but no luck yet. Thanks for the video, nice work. Ken
Great video of the extra working! Thanks fro sharing! Watching in Aurora, NY.
Always enjoy your videos, I watch from Simpson Pennsylvania right along the former Delaware and Lackawanna railroad line. I grew up in Sauquoit New York, just up the hill from where you were standing in Clayville. As someone much smarter than one said “I’ve never seen a train go by I didn’t wish I were on”
Wow! That was great 👍! Never saw one working up close! Seen after they've gone thru!. Thanks for taking the time to get this! As always thanks my friend!!
Came up as a recommended watch, and always enjoy USA railroading content. In the UK a seaside town called Lytham a few miles south of Blackpool and it's famous tower if you you want to 'pin the World map'. Now retired used to run a 3rd generation model shop and do 3.5inch live steam trains, can get tight enough curves to run around the garden. 🚂👍☺
Watching from St. Louis MO. My Dad grew up in Utica.🙂

Wow this just brought back memories...Left Utica in 2011...
Watching from the 1000 Islands region, NY. Another outstanding video! I remember that plow parked on the siding back in the day on the base.
I’m watching this from Western Pennsylvania, near New Castle. Utica is a beautiful town, and the Susie Q is a great little railroad. This operation seems to suit them to a T! By the bye, you have a nice dog.
