Not staged
Title:  Not staged
Description:  Really....NYSW ran 142 for short trips during the Broome County Fair, held in Whitney Point. This trip was approaching the NY 79 crossing when the Buick came along. The driver saw several of us there taking photos and stopped. All of us-maybe a half dozen-waved him into the photo, making for this classic. Considering all the cars that ever got into a photo, this is the one we wanted in it-hes the guy that stops.

River Road running

Description:  NYSW 142 rolls along River Rd, which follows the tracks from Messengerville into Blodgett Mills. Easy run on the train, not so much on the road, as it seems to be either muddy or full of ruts.

Ready any time
Title:  Ready any time
Description:  NYSW 142 has taken on water and coupled back to its train, and is now ready to head for Cortland to tie up for the day. Even the train had a large NY component-the first five cars all came off the LIRR. Theyre not old enough to have been pulled by one of Long Islands G 5s, but have run lots of miles behind Alcos. The roof of the DLW station can be seen behind the train.

Waiting on time
Title:  Waiting on time
Description:  The NYSW ran excursions for the annual Mapathon Maple Festival, starting with a run down from Cortland. Mikado 142 was the star of the train for several years. In 1993, it was brutally cold and snowy-there had been a!20 plus inch snowfall a week earlier-even for the festival, which was notorious for its awful weather. While it made for a challenging chase, steam in the snow made for a great show.

Looking down
Title:  Looking down
Description:  Several places along I 81 provide good views of the tracks, though I dont recommend sitting on the side of the interstate to do this. Its a volation of the Vehicle and Traffic Law for one thing, and not terribly safe for another. Nevertheless, a shot of a steam train was too much to resist, so we have this shot of the Maple Festival train near Messengervilie, seen from the shoulder of I 81.
