RE: (erielack) Syracuse Branch (was Intermodal trains)

["Joshua" <mail_@_joshuakblay.com>]

My pleasure Todd.  Sources are photographic evidence collected over the
years by me.  I've been keeping a running roster since the early days of
every engine to operate on the Syracuse branch.  I have all this save in two
Excel files if anyone wants a copy.  One for pre NYSW era, other for NYSW
era.  It's a lot!!!  Also been keeping a similar listing for the Lehigh
Valley in the Cortland area.

Here's some more-

The photo I mentioned is in Vol 2, pg 84, but as I said the caption says
it's the Utica train. SD45's would run to Syracuse but not beyond. The
Oswego portion (beyond Solvay) was served by a local. The track was iffy and
had some tight industrial curves, so was usually assigned to a GP7 or other
four axle power.

Thanks for the data Joshua, I really appreciate the impressive list! Though
these large locos made it to the Syracuse Branch, do you know if they
actually made it to Syracuse, or even possibly Oswego? Very curious! BTW,
just wondering what the sources for this data is. Todd
