Susquehanna Railway Roster and Survivors.

	Compiling an "all-time" roster for most railroads, especially large railroads that began in the 19th century, is very difficult. For many railroads, such as the New York Central, its nearly impossible to accurately list EVERY locomotive ever owned by the company. But the NYSW is probably just small enough that an accurate all-time roster shouldnt be too difficult to determine. hopefully! The steam era of the NYSW is complicated and confusing, mainly due to the Erie railroad control between the years 1898 and 1940. But if we divide up the NYSW steam era into it's three clear divisions, it might be managable.. Steam era #1 - Beginning of the NYSW to Erie control - 1881 to 1898. Steam era #2 - The Erie Years - 1898 - 1940. Steam era #3 - Independance to "end of steam" - 1940 - 1947. The following steam roster data is compiled from four different books: The New York Susquehanna & Western Railroad. - by Robert E. Mohowski Erie Power - by Al Stauffer Susquehanna - by John Krause and Ed Crist. The History of the New York Susquehanna & Western Railroad - by Walter Arndt Lucas, published by the Railroadians of America in 1939 and reprinted and updated in 1980. there are some roster discrepncies between the books! when books disagree, I am going with the newest book (Mohowski) assuming the latest data is the correct data, but this may or may not be a correct assumption! ;) There are also two other NYSW books which I do not yet have in my collection: Susquehanna – from Shortlines to Stackpacks - by Ken Karlewicz and Scott Hartley New York Susquehanna & Western, In Color. - Morning Sun Books. And as always, I recieve lots of help on these lists from the great railfans and historians at www.railroad.net, www.railfan.net and www.rypn.org. (see links below) thanks!

Susquehanna Steam Locomotives:



Steam Era #1 - 1881-1898
"Prior to Erie Control, Susquehanna operated with 87 Locomotives" - Mohowski
nearly all of these 87 locomotives were of the 4-4-0 and 2-6-0 type.
Even though the Susquehanna was not fully an Erie subsiderary until 1898, NYSW locomotives were ordered in "sub sets" of Erie locomotive orders before then,
With the same specifications as the Erie engines, but lettered "Susquehanna" on the tender, and given an independent NYSW 2-digit number series.

4-4-0 Type - class? Number in class?
Wheel arr	road number	class	builder/date	retired/scrapped	notes	photo
4-4-0	12	?




2-6-0 Type
Class F25 - 22 locomotives, all 22 in the class built for NYSW - Rogers 1881-1889, numbers 18-42, but not inclusive, there were gaps in the number series.
Class F26 - 7 locos built for Erie, Numbers 45-51,Rogers, 1892 & 1893, 4 of the 7 assigned to NYSW.(which four were NYSW is currently unknown)
Class F27 - 14 locos built for the Erie, Numbers 52-65, Rogers 1894-1897, 12 of 14 assigned to NYSW.(which 12 were NYSW is currently unknown) all locos in this class were Camelbacks
Class F28 - Rogers 1894-1895. Number of NYSW locos in this class currently unknown.
- all data from Stauffer
39 of the 87 pre-Erie NYSW locos can be confirmed as 4-6-0's..based on data so far.

Steam Era #2 -The Erie Years - 1898 - 1940

The Erie fully controlled the NYSW during these years, but the NYSW had its own locomotives lettered "Susquehanna"
and NYSW locos also had an independant number series from the Erie, NYSW locos generally had 2-digit road numbers, (except for the Russians) while Erie locos had 4-digit numbers.
This is going to be the most difficult era to straighten out when it comes to what locos were actually assigned to the NYSW..it’s quite nebulous because of the Erie control.
For the purposes of this webpage, I am going to include any locomotive that was ever lettered "Susquehanna" on the tender, regardless of if it was leased or owned.
The following is the best I can do so far for a complete NYSW roster for the years 1898-1940, it includes the 1905 Susquehanna Roster from the 1939 Walter Arndt Lucas book. Which shows a mix of original NYSW locos, plus some new ones from the Erie. Class names are Erie classes, not the original NYSW classes. In addition to the 1905 roster, other locos that were known to be on the roster before 1940 are below. A total of xx locos are on this 1898-1940 roster, however not all operated at the same time! "The greatest number of locomotives owned at any one time by the NYS&W was 101. This number was reached in 1911 and continued until 1916, finally diminishing to the insignificant two owned in 1938." -Lucas, 1939. "In 1920, 92 locomotives were in use on The Susquehanna" - Mohowski

Steam Era #3 -Independence to "end of steam" - 1940-1947
The NYSW gained it's independence from the Erie in 1940.
Between 1940 and 1947, NYSW leased/owned a total of 31 Steam Locomotives in four wheel arrangements:
Five 0-6-0
Eight 4-6-0
Two 4-6-2 (but we have photos of FOUR!..perhaps renumburing? Or were there were actually four? Or..two were "Erie Years" pre-1940, and twp were Post-Erie)
Sixteen 2-10-0 (were they the SAME sixteen from pre-1940? Unknown..)
This era is more straight-forward and well documented, we should be able to figure it out with accuracy.

Numbers in RED indicate that specific locomotive is documented, with a photograph, as having been lettered for the Susquehanna.

Sadly, ALL steam locomotives listed above have been scrapped.
The current Susquehanna 2-8-2 #142 was built in 1989 in China.

Plus Nine leased units running on NYSW in January 2012.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page to the timeline for info on the leasers.

*Note 1
4010 - 4048, twenty B40-8's, were built in 1989 and financed with help from CSX to operate the stack trains.
(Susquehanna was temporarily operating the D&H, and the stack trains were run over the Conrail southern tier main via D&H traffic rights)
With the loss of the stack trains when CP took over the D&H, these 20 units were returned to CSX around 1991.
4010 - 4048 only operated with NYSW a few short years between 1989 and 1991.

The other four B40-8's 4002, 4004, 4006 and 4008, operated with NYSW all through the 1990's and into the 21st
century, until being sold to the P&W in 2004 and 2005.

4006 (now P&W 4003) was in NYSW yellowjacket paint in July 2006, was repainted into P&W scheme by December 2006.
was the last yellowjacket B40-8.

*Note 2
231:1 and 233:1 were NYSW's first road diesels.
They were both requisitioned by the US govt and sent overseas for WWII.
(All 1941 Alco RS1 production was shipped overseas by the US govt for the war effort,
and all were rebuilt into RSD-1 types, with 6-axle trucks, including our two NYSW units)

231:1 survives!
she went overseas in WWII along with sister 233:1, both converted to RSD1's (6-axle trucks)
231:1 returned to the USA after the war..her history is:
originally NYSW RS1 231:1 - then US Army 8000 - then to U.S. Navy 65-00575, then to Texas Industries 8000; Donated to the Age of Steam Museum in Dallas, Texas.
the "Age of Steam Museum" in Dallas is now called the "Museum of the American Railroad"

233:1 - Alaska RSD1 1085 - Alaska 1057 - US Army 8001 - nee NYSW 233:1 - scrapped 1965-67

see this page for more info on the WWII RSD's, including our two Susquehanna units.

*Note 3
Russian 2-10-0 notes.
2492 was the last decopod to operate, last day of operation - October 2, 1947
2454, 2472, 2481, and 2484 were returned to the Erie and sold, 2/4/1943, to Seaboard Air Line.
2435 and 2492 sold for scrap in september 1948, last two operating Russians.

*Note 4
Whitcombs 150 and 151, and GE 45 tonner 200,
all switched the Edgewater Seatrain operation.
200 replaced the two whitcombs in 1958.
200 was then sold to a mining operation in Quebec (Quebec Iron & Titanium) when the edgewater facility was shutdown. (year?)
200 was bought new in 1958, and survives today as Quebec Iron & Titanium #24
150 is preserved, the current fate of 151 is still unknown.

*Note 5
The eight Cartier Alcos and MLWs first arrived in Cohocton, NY in late 2002.
They sat there through all of 2003,
and in October 2004, the first unit arrived on the Susquehanna.
By August 2005 all eight were on the Susquehanna.
Click Here for the complete Cartier unit timeline on NY Alcos

The Cartier units operated with NYSW from 2004-2007, and in 2007 all eight were sold by NYSW to leasing companys RRPX and Alco-C,
who then leased them to the Livonia, Avon & Lakeville railroad.

*Note 6
Concerning U23B 2209.
I have recieved a few emails letting me know im missing "NYSW 2209" from the roster..actually im not..
because there has never been a NYSW 2209! ;)
The unit was always BDLX 2209 when it operated with NYSW..
BDLX is "Big Dog Leasing", related to RMDI in Pittston, PA.
The unit was never actually owned by NYSW..there are several references to "NYSW 2209" floating around the internet,
and some photos labeled as NYSW 2209..those are simply mistakes, errors, mislabeled photos.."NYSW 2209" has never existed.
In April, 2009 BDLX 2209 was being used a test bed in Utica.

sometime in 2004 - SD45 3612donates her nose to BDLX GP40 1355 (later to become NYSW 3042)
and her crankshaft to F45 3636, 3612 is then scrapped in Utica. :(
leaving only three SD45's on the roster - 3614, 3618, 3634.

January 20, 2005. ex-Cartier 47 and 77 reported on NYSW property. that makes five!

As of February 2005, Five of the ex-Cartier units are with the Susquehanna in Binghamton, 41,45,47,77,78
and three remain in Cohocton. 43,75,85.

February 2005 - B40-8 4008 sold to the P&W
September 2005 - B40-8 4006 sold to the P&W - this was the last of the B40-8's from 1989 on the NYSW roster.

April 16, 2005
three of the Cartier units, 41,47,78, make a run on the CSX mainline between Utica and Buffalo!
they did it again May 1 and 2, 2005
they sat outlawed for 2 days near Batavia.

On June 3, 2005,
the sixth ex-Cartier unit, #43 left Cohocton and was interchanged with NS at Gang Mills.
That leaves only 75 and 85 still in Cohocton as of June 5, 2005.
the other 6 units are with the Susquehanna.
3 of the units are confirmed operating, 41,47,78.
43, 45 and 77 are with the Susquehanna, but have not been confirmed operating
yet as of June 5, 2005.

June 4, 2005
Rumours have been going around that the Susquehanna plans to buy the ex-Cartier units, re-number them,
and possibly repaint them into NYSW yellow & black!!
(although repainting is probably just a rumour..it could happen, but is unlikely for awhile)

June 4, 2005
45 was reported outside the Utica shop numbured on the cab as NYSW 6366.
First ex-Cartier renumbured into the NYSW number scheme.
but still wearing the original Cartier colors.
She was being load tested, operating, nearly ready for service.

June 6, 2005
Cartier 43 confirmed operating.
77 was reported possibly operating a few months ago, that was false, she has not yet been operating.

It has been reported in past months that ex-Cartier 75 and 85 may be of interest to the WNYP.
but it has also been rumoured that WNYP doesnt want them, and they will also go to
the Susquehanna..which way is true isnt certain yet.
stay tuned....

August 1, 2005
2 of the ex-Cartier units were briefly renumbured in the 6300 series. and are now in the 3600 series.
Cartier 45 was the first renumbured, to 6366, photographic proof of renumbured 6366 taken on June 4, 2005.
                   On July 30, the unit was spotted renumbured a second time, this time to 3666.
                   So this unit went from Cartier 45 to NYSW 6366 to NYSW 3666. hopefully settled down now.
Cartier 43 was very briefly renumbured to 6370..perhaps only a few weeks in July 2005. by late July she was renumbured to 3670.
                   this unit went from Cartier 43 to NYSW 6370 to NYSW 3670.

41      - still #41, operating with NYSW
3670 - was briefly numbured 6370, perhaps only a few weeks in July,
            was Cartier 43, operating with NYSW
3666 - was numbured 6366 for approx 2 months, June and July
            was Cartier 45, operating with NYSW
47     - still #47, operating with NYSW
75     - still in Cohocton, not operating.
77     - with NYSW, but has not operated yet.
78     - still #78, operating with NYSW.
85     - still in Cohocton, not operating.

The final two ex-Cartier units that remained in Cohocton, 75 and 85, arrived in Binghamton on 8-17-05.
they were renumbured to NYSW 3672 and 3674 before they left Cohocton.
that makes it official! all EIGHT of the "things" are now with Susquehanna!
as of 8-19-05, it isnt clear if 3672 and 3674 are operating yet.
The units were towed to Binghamton, not operating.
They never actually operated as SIXX 75 or RRPX 85,
they had those numbers "on paper", but were never physically lettered with those reporting marks and numbers,
they recieved their NYSW numbers before they left Cohocton.

October 10, 2005
7 of the 8 ex-Cartier units are now operating.
Only 77 is not operating, has freeze damage, still OOS in Utica.

3660 - 78, unrenumbured
3662 - 77, unrenumbured, only unit still OOS.
3664 - 41.
3666 - 45
3668 - 47, unrenumbured.

April 2006 - SD40T-2 3012 arrives in Dansville for rebuilding, the first of the NYSW Dansville rebuilds. was already in yellowjacket paint, so not repainted there.

June 14, 2006
       got a report from our intrepid Binghamton reporter Andy B. that
       the big Susquehanna Alcos/MLWs arent doing well,
       and some are currently OOS..although they might still return to service.
       At the beginning of 2006 all 7 (of 8) of the Cartier units were operating,
       (except for 77, which never operated with NYSW and has apparently become the parts unit.)
       As of June 14, only 3664, 3672 and 3674 are operating.
       although hopefully the four dead units may return to service.
       3664 - operating
       3670 - OOS
       3666 - OOS
       3668 - OOS
       3672 - operating

The line will likely be abandoned and not rebuilt.

January 2007 - SD45 3634 returns to service from Dansville, repainted into new yellowjacket scheme from previous yellowjacket scheme, now classed as a SD45-2.

March 2007 - U23B 2302 joins the NYSW roster, purchased from BDLX (formerly BDLX 2208 and P&W 2208) - still wearing the P&W scheme in early 2007.
March 2007 - U23B 2304 joins the NYSW roster, former P&W 2208 - still wearing the P&W scheme in early 2007.
both originally Conrail units, and among the very last U-boats built. built new for Conrail in May 1977. Units had their trucks changed at some point
from the original AAR-B trucks, to the FB2 trucks the units are currently wearing.

May 2007 - Confirmed that Alco C636 "SIXX 77" has actually been officially NYSW 3662 "on paper" all along.
and owned by the NYSW, same as the other Cartier units.
However it has never operated as, or been renumbured as, NYSW 3662. It's still OOS and has never operated with NYSW, it's a parts unit in Utica.

3014 was repainted at Dansville from its SP Bloody nose scheme into NYSW yellowjacket colors. All four tunnel motors are now yellowjackets.
Only SD45 3614 in Dansville at this time..reports say she is too far gone, and likely will never be back in operation.

Summer 2007 - All EIGHT of the Cartier units are sold and leave the NYSW roster!
                                Sold/Leased to the Livonia, Avon & Lakeville, for use on the new WNY&P base out of Olean, NY.
                                Check the NY Alcos page for the continuing saga and timeline on the Cartiers.
                                 No one is sure when the last Cartier unit operated with the Susquehanna, but it was sometime in June or July.
                                 It seems Susquehanna's last great Alco era is over.

August 2007 -          The eight NYSW Cartier units are gathering in small herds, hopefully to move soon to the LAL!
                                    5 units are in Binghamton, 3664, 3666, 3668, 3670, and 3672
                                    and 3 in Syracuse. 3660, 3662, and 3674.

August 4, 2007 - Susquehanna clears out units from the Utica shop, moving them over to Syracuse, including three Cartier units.
They then move down to Binghamton.

Only 3672 remains in Binghamton.

September 27, 2007 - NYSW finally confirms the rumour that the Utica shop will be closing as of 12/15/07.

October 4, 2007 - GP20's 2062 & 2064 reported OOS in Binghamton.
B23-7 2300 also reported OOS.

October 5, 2007 - GP18 1804 - currently OOS Binghamton
                               GP20 2062 - currently OOS Binghamton

                               GP40 3042 - currently OOS Utica
                               B23-7 2300 - currently OOS Utica
                               SD45 3614 - currently OOS Dansville

                                27 total units on the roster,
                                7 OOS
                                17 operating on NYSW system
                                3 leased out to the Indiana & Ohio (the SD70's)
                                20 total operating units (including the SD70's)

October 6, 2007 - Former NYSW 3666 is renumbured and is back in service as WNYP 636.
she leaves Cohocton for her new assignment in Olean.
First of the 8 Cartier units to return to service with WNYP.

October 9, 2007 - GP20 2066 is listed dead in Binghamton.
For the first time, all three GP20's are dead.. :(

October 12, 2007 - NW2 116 (the unit in O&W paint) is off the NYSW roster.
as is SD45 3614, which remains a parts unit in Dansville, never to return to service.
The SD45 fleet falls by one more, down to two units remaining.

November 8, 2007 - The last of the Cartier units, M636 3672, arrives in Cohocton.
Binghamton is now 100% Alco-free again. :(

November 16, 2007 - SD40T-2 3014 makes her second trip to AMP in Dansville, NY. Spotted in Rochester on 11/16/2007, and in Dansville on 11/18.

2007 was quite a year of change for the Susquehanna motive power fleet..and all in the "negative direction" (from a railfan perspective anyway..)

The "Last Great Susquehanna Alco Era" ended in 2007, when all eight of the big Cartier Alcos and MLW's were sold off and moved over to Cohocton, NY
with new owner LAL-WNYP.

Old NYSW power begins to be removed from service, including all three GP18's, the GP20's and other older power..
details below.

The NYSW roster shrunk from 35 to 25 units during 2007. NW2 116, SD45 3614, and the Eight Cartier units left the roster.
No new units arrived during 2007. (except for leased power)

February 14, 2008 - reports on-line that the three SD70's may be moving from Ohio to Florida. might be just a rumour.

March 25, 2008 - Reports reach the railfan forums that NYSW is beginning to sell off its entire passenger fleet.
All passenger cars and the RDC's are up for sale. 15 passenger cars, 4 RDC's and the 0-6-0 in Cooperstown.

April 16 2008 - First report that one of the passenger cars has been sold. Former NYSW Diner Lounge Car # 507 heads to its new home in Florida.

April 2008 - Over the last few months, a line of eight stored locomotives has developed in Binghamton.
The string of stored/dead units includes:

                       GP18 1800
                       GP18 1802
                       GP18 1804

                       U23B 2302
                       GP38 2012
                       NW2 116     (privately owned, not officially on the NYSW roster)

                       It is especially sad to see the three GP18's out of service. These were the oldest continually operating NYSW units, bought new in 1962.
                       Thats 46 years of service with the same railroad! It seems their days with the Susquehanna are now over.
                       Although the fate of all of these units is currently unknown. hopefully they will be sold and not scrapped.

The list of OOS units grows disturbingly long...and perhaps not coincidintally, EVERY OOS unit happens to be a 4-axle unit,
and all IN service units are 6-axle..

3012
3014

(and the three SD70's - leased, still in Ohio on the Indiana & Ohio Railway)

Not counting the SD70's, the list of OOS units is longer than the list of active units. :(

April 30, 2007 - SD70 4052 is in Florida, heading to the FEC shop at New Symrna Beach for some work.
perhaps this is the source of the rumour that the SD70's are "being sold to the FEC"
perhaps they are only going to the FEC for some work instead.

May 14 , 2008 - F45 3636 is OOS..its likely she has seen her last days of operation on the Susquehanna. :(

October 14, 2008 - NYSW 206, the only surviving Susquehanna Alco S2, is moved to Maywood, NJ and put on display.
cosmetic restoration is underway by the Maywood Station Historical Committee.

The NYSW roster shrunk from 25 to 23 units during 2008.

April 21, 2009 - the three NYSW SD70's are back in town! :) (well, sort-of)....the three units, after being on-lease in Ohio and Florida for many years, travel
                            back to New York State and are seen in Selkirk on April 22. They are headed to the New England Central Railroad for storage.

May 21, 2009 - Former NYSW EMD NW2 No. 116 (privately owned for many years) made the move, by truck, from Binghamton, NY to Arkville, NY.

April 2010 - Four NYSW units leave the roster. the big story is the three GP18's are leaving!
                 these are very historic Susquehanna units! They were bought new by the susquehanna in 1962..48 years on the roster!
                     They were the first yellowjackets! and wore their yellowjacket schemes (with some variation) their entire NYSW careers.
                     The three classic GP18's were sold to the East Penn Railway in early 2010, and they departed Binghamton
                     for the last time on April 15, 2010. They then went to the NYSW in New Jersey, and then arrived at their new home,
                     The East Penn Railway, Kennet Square, PA, on May 5, 2010. as of August 2010 the units are stored, but it is believed
                     East Penn intends to operate them!

NYSW GP38 2012 (the only GP38 NYSW has ever owned! so far)
was also sold in April 2010, to the North Shore, she is now NSHR 2010, now with the North Shore in Newberry, PA.

The NYSW Roster drops to only 19 units.
10 oos/stored, only nine units operating!

September 2010 - Reports state F45 3636 is going to Utica to have usable parts stripped out..it is unlikely she will operate again.
3636 has been OOS since May 2008.

December 21, 2010 - the SD70's return home! after 10 years of being leased out, and roaming all over the country in lease service,
the trio of of SD70's, NYSW 4050, 4052 and 4054 are finally back home in Binghamton...the units arrived in Binghamton
under their own power.

As the NYSW roster continues to shrink year after year, 2011 begins with only 19 units on the roster:
12 operating, and 7 stored.

2062 - EMD GP20 - OOS/Stored Binghamton
2064 - EMD GP20 - OOS/Stored Binghamton
2066 - EMD GP20 - OOS/Stored Binghamton

3012 - EMD SD40T-2 - operating
3014 - EMD SD40T-2 - operating
3016 - EMD SD40T-2 - operating

2011 will be remembured as the year the SD70's returned, but only for a short reprieve on home rails.
by the end of 2011 all three are OOS in Binghamton, fate uncertain.

And 2011 was also the year of the multiple CEFX leasers..and possibly a brace of new SD60's, coming soon..

As 2012 begins, only 6 NYSW units are active! 12 are OOS (18 total on the roster) and 9 Leased units are also operating with NYSW, as discussed above.
This is the smallest amount of active units we have seen in..well..ever.
In January 2012 NYSW is running with 6 NYSW units and 9 leased units.

2012 begins with a notable roster change..with the sale of NYSW 2300 in October 2011, NYSW is, for the first time ever, an all-EMD railroad!
