Couple of classics
Title:  Couple of classics
Description:  The power is one of the three NYSW GP 18s, a unit that was acquired by a number of roads, but not on the scale of, say, the GP 9. At this point, the NYSW group may be the only ones still running. It sits next to the Lackawanna station, a building noted for its elegance, as much of the DLW stations were.

Nicely framed
Title:  Nicely framed
Description:  CL 1, the Cortland based job that worked with a crew based there that summer, is framed by the bridge carrying the long abandoned Cincinnatus branch over the Tioghnioga River. A part of the branch remains to serve asphalt producer Suit Kote, where the unit is coming from this afternoon.

On the Cincinnatus Branch
Title:  On the Cincinnatus Branch
Description:  Ive always found it interesting how many branch lines went off into the hills for short distances to serve small towns. One such line was the DLWs branch to Cincinnatus NY, about 15 miles east of Cortland. Though it was abandoned early-1940s-it had passenger trains. Youd think there would not be enough traffic to sustain it, but there, it was. There isnt much left now, just a couple of miles heading out toward Mc Graw, on which is located this Suit Kote plant, which we see being switched by GP 18 1800.

Doesnt look it
Title:  Doesnt look it
Description:  But this track is still in use. The Lackawanna had a short branch from the Syracuse Branch at Cortland that went down to Cincinnatus, about 15 miles away. Most of it was abandoned in the 1940s, but a mile or so still exists in Cortland, and is used by the NYSW to serve the Suit Kote plant down toward Mc Graw. This bridge crosses the Tioghnioga River. GP 18 will be working her later this afternoon.

Cincinnatus branch
Title:  Cincinnatus branch
Description:  The DLW had a branch to Cincinnatus NY, southesast of Cortland that was abandoned in the early 60's. A remnant of that line was used in Cortland to reach an asphalt plant run by Suit Kote. Here we see 1800 on the Tioghnioga River bridge on the branch returning from Suit Kote.
