"Who'd a Thunk It??!!" NYSW Utica NY Branch

Thunk what? Why, April snow and a doubleheader on New York, Susquehanna & Western's Utica NY branch, April 4, 2024!
The video opens with NYS&W's 3040 leading its train up Paris Hill, Clayville NY in the midst of a spring snow storm. Behind 3040: CSX 2722, 3 empty boxcars & 7 covered hoppers consigned to customers in Waterville and Sangerfield.
Next, 6 miles farther south we catch the freight in Paris Station as it goes up and over Paris Hill's Summit.
The final scenes are back in Utica on Schuyler Street.

    Got to see the 3040 on Tuesday by New Hartford shopping center. It’s even more beautiful seeing it in person.

    Always good to see 3040 getting the job done. It looks like the fertilizer business is doing well this year, too.

    Spring snowstorms? Eclipses? Earthquakes? Ah yes, unusual East Coast happenings. But, watching a train video, and listening to the clickety-clack, and hearing that lonesome whistle blow during a gentle snowfall, all those little things puts my mind at ease. Everything else evaporates. Great video! Thsnk you.

    A nice view even with the snow looking on the straightaway with very little moderninity in view. Looks like phosphates headed out phosphate empties coming back it's the anniversary of Milwaukee's 1990 late snow storm that put 25,000 people in the cold and dark due to heavy wet snow snapping mini a branch. It was 3 to 8 in depending upon where you were and only took 2 days to melt. I remember getting up for work and wondering why my neighbor had white shingles

    AEX reporting marks are for The Andersons which is a Grain Company with HQ in Maumee OH. For quite a number of years they have also had a railroad freight car leasing department specializing in covered hoppers most of which are used but some have been reconditioned. They also have boxcars BAEX. Tank cars pretty much for ethanol TAEX plus a nominal number of gondolas and hoppers. Odds are high a car out here is loaded with phosphate or potash
