In 1988, the D&H declared bankruptcy and dropped out of the Guilford system. The New York, Susquehanna & Western was named to be the Designated Operator by the bankruptcy court. NYSW operated the D&H from 1988 to 1991 when it was sold to CP
Rail. To handle the increased traffic the Susquehanna acquired B40-8's financed by CSX, joining the fleet of 5 they already owned. This video is a collection taken during that D/O period, in varied locations from the Reading area, the Lehigh and Southern Tier lines, and around Binghamton NY. largely featuring the Susquehanna GE's.

These were some of the most trying times in the D&H’s history, but Walter Rich and the NYSW helped us through it with these new B40-8 locomotives hauling our trains. He certainly helped us through those days of uncertainty! Great video!!

The double track on the old Erie is glorious. Too bad that’s mostly been single tracked with no more blades. Grateful the line exists at all, I guess.

Excellent footage. Love the footage with no RR Crossing we get to enjoy the rumble of diesel without interruption of a horn... Thanks for these great memories caught on film.

Big Flats, NY on the old Erie Railroad mainline at 23:03. The small Erie bridge is no longer there. Conrail took it out sometime in the 1990's after they single tracked the entire line and replaced it instead with a concrete culvert, which still stands today. The former DL&W mainline once ran beside the Erie mainline here, but that's long gone since the late 1950s now.

That spot right above the (former) angelica lake and alvernia university has got to be one of my favorite spots around reading, it's so removed from the city yet it's right on the outskirts.

Love that borrowed NS in the lead, ex high hood SOU 3302 SD40-2. I wonder if NYSW was required to run it long hood forward as was the old NW/SOU custom.

@fmnut 28 күн бұрын

I believe they had dual controls and could run with the engineer on the correct side either way. As you say, long hood forward was a custom, not a requirement.

If I'm not mistaken this must have been part of the Erie Railroad and later the Erie Lackawanna before the NYS&W

The scenes in the video jump around a bit. Up to 4:05 is the former Erie Southern Tier line west of Binghamton NY. From there to 12:05 is the Reading PA area and Lehigh Line. After that it's a mix of former EL/Erie, EL/Lackawanna, and D&H lines radiating out of Binghamton NY.
