"Call Out Old Yeller!" NYS&W Utica Branch Plow Extra
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- 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.
These are beautiful shots for anyone who loves trains and suffered through the ghastly winters of New York. Fantastic!!!
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 !!
Nice. From the UK and my 76 year old mother loves watching them as well
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!
Thanks for the video. I am a former NYSW engineer retired in 2011. Home terminal was Binghamton, mostly on trains to Little Ferry NJ.

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!
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

Sebastopol, CA - always enjoy watching railroad and snow plows at work. Thank you.

Watching these from Victoria, Australia during summer at least gives me the illusion of feeling cooler. :)
Also Victoria, Australia
Hello Utica, viewing from Kalamazoo in southwest Michigan. Thanks for the interesting video of up state rail action. Good job, I enjoyed the show.
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.
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. ❤️
Watching from Bend, Oregon. Love the short line videos.
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.
Watching this from Venice, FL. interesting coverage indeed Thanks
Watching from Marcy NY. I can hear the train whistles when the trains head north from Utica. Really like the narration and the information shared. Great job!
Great video of the extra working! Thanks fro sharing! Watching in Aurora, NY.
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 Canonsburg Pennsylvania. As an alumni of Syracuse University, this railroad was always intriguing to see around town in the college days. I learn so much of the history from these videos. Keep up the great work!!
I watch your videos, love them. Just outside Derby in the middle of England!
Great job on these videos and narration for all of us to watch. Watching from just north of you in Lewis County NY. Thanks for providing this interesting entertainment.
Watching from Melbourne Australia in the middle of our Summer. Overcast today 25° Celsius, just nice and easy.
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.

Live in Seattle moved here 1974. Grew up in Herkimer and know this area very well. Went to MVCC (which is celebrating 75 years first CC in New York State a proud alumni). Then Clarkson and Syracuse University (go orange). Enjoy your videos very much. Looking forward to many more.
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
I’m just now seeing this in SW Ohio. Thank you for sharing this fascinating train with us.
I LIVE IN Akron New York and I enjoy the videos love the plow keep sending more videos.
Great job tracking the plow! I just love the sound of this engine. Greetings from Zagreb, Croatia. 😄
Watching from Stockton CA and loving it. I miss home and the season change. Now I'm stuck in CA. Last forty years, what a pleasure it is to see the areas along the rt.twenty corridor
I used to go to Sloansville to ChuckMyles motor cycle shop to get parts for my Indian motor cycle with side car. I lived in Ithaca NY all my life until my foolish decision to move to Ca
Watching in Lisbon, Maine! Love seeing this plow in use and appreciate all of your videos. And your dog's loyalty and love of train watching. Originally an East Syracusan, from a railroad family there.
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!!
Watching from Flint Michigan. Love the street runners and plows, along with all the information you give.
Watching you from Chicago, IL. Former resident of Rome, NY, grew up near railroad in Greenway and a forever rail fan. Love views of home in these videos.
I always enjoy watching your videos. You create excellent content and the commentary/narration is always interesting. Plus, it is nice to see the dog enjoying the trains as well.
Thank you for sharing.

My Grandfather and his son (my uncle ) were engineers on steam and diesel locomotives between Syracuse and Buffalo for 110 years between them! Went to the Utica Club brewery by train when I was nine or ten. Nearly sixty years ago now. Oh the stories they had.

Very interesting. Nice video.
I worked a few weeks in Utica several years ago.
Joined the local historical society there for a short time. Nice place. Nice folks
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 Los Angeles. Love all the train stuff as i grew up along the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad and fell in love with trains when i was a preschooler.
Hello from very warm Orange County, CA. Great vid. Glad your doggie is also a railfan. Looking forward to visiting Utica someday for some S&W action when I visit my son out in Ithaca.
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 👍
Great video. I always enjoy your reports on the Utica branch. All the best from Leiden, the Netherlands.
Watching from Casa Grande, Az. Thanks for reminding me why I’m down here all winter.
As always I am watching from Letchworth Garden City, 36 miles north of London UK. Currently 11c outside and 5.30pm.
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 Citrus Heights CA. Enjoying the videos.
Watching from Brazil, IN. Love the history of the railroad in the videos
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”
Watching from HUdson Falls, NY...nice to see a plow in action!
Great video sir! Love seeing that plow in action!
Nice video and clearly narrated. Watching from Cambridge, UK. Lifelong railway enthusiast. Have been to the US three times to ride and see the trains.
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 😂
I am watching this from Chesapeake, VA. I was stationed at Fort Drum, NY. for ten years and I loved the mid to upstate NY area.
Watching from Ottawa Canada! We have good friends in Utica and it was great watching this , I keep seening places I know! Next time im there I'll have to go see the trains on the street! Cheers!
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. 🚂👍☺
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.
Watching in the Mid-Hudson Valley of NY, rain not snow......Yet. Thanks For the ride.
I'm a retired CP Conductor in Kitchener, ON near Toronto. I enjoy your videos. I worked many snowplows in my career in the 1970s & 80s. The actual plow I sometimes worked with is still running on OSR on former CP lines. You can find those videos on RUclips too. The plow in your video is a double track version. I may have mentioned this before. It is designed to throw most of the snow to one side. This plow has a nose that drops like CP's homebuilt ones. That setup is different from most Russell plows and I think it works much better because "flanged" snow is directed away from the rail by the wings.
Watching from Pittsgrove, NJ. I was born in Utica and lived in New Hartford right near the old O&W section of trackage and the EL.
Great video! I live in Muskegon, MI. I grew up in Utica so I recognize most locations you've been filming, from Clayville to Trenton. The MA&N goes right through the middle of my cousin's farm in Marcy. Keep up the good work, I enjoy watching them.
Great video, I'm watching from Biloxi,Mississippi.
Watching from Ottawa. I love trains in snow
Watching from The Netherlands. Beautiful video, thanks! 👍
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 !
This is like the winters of my younger years 50s, 60s, 70s. Here in upstate western New York
Watching from Canandaigua NY
Nice video. Watching from Vermont, here. I have a single track Russell style plow that I use to keep my 7-1/4" gauge freight hauler rolling.
Viewing from Send, Woking in Surrey, England..Great video..Love the big locomotives used on the American rails, such awesome pulling power and it's amazing to see length of cars been pulled through the countryside of America..
Watching from Dorset South West UK,Cool video video.👍😁😁😁😁😁🚂🇬🇧

Hailing from Greensboro, NC. I've been watching quite a few videos from Jaw Tooth. He's another fine train content presenter from the WV, KY, OH convergence. I must have come upon your videos as a result--you know, the algorithm. I really like your channel. Very interesting visuals, very good narration, true train history and present day activity. Thank you very much for your content.
I’m watching from sunny South Florida.
Absolutely enjoy your videos. I grew up and explored along the now abandoned West Shore. Perhaps you could show some of the West Shore from west Frankfort thru the eastern part of Utica.
Thank you again for all your railroading knowledge.
Watching from Clarksville, TN and great videos.
Watching from Dover NH. Rode fan trips on some of your subject lines 20 years ago or more on trips run by some historical society based in Kentucky. Gret video here, as always. Pats to the pup.
