The UP unit came in on NS; by this time, their power and BNSF were not much of a surprise. NYSW, however, did get some interesting visitors from other upstate short lines, since they did some repair work at Utica. Such is the case today, as in this VLIX C 420 in transit to somewhere at the Binghamton yard.

On August 12th, 2013, a solid set of Union Pacific power (SD70Ms 4436, 4569 and 4415) leads BNSF symboled U-SDGSTO1-12A up Rose Canyon in northern San Diego as the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus heads from San Diego to Oakland, via both Cajon Pass and Tehachapi! At 59 Loads, 5392 tons and 5444 feet, this is an impressive train!

NS was not shy about borrowing other roads power for even mundane assignments. A pair of BNSF units ran on a local for several months in the Tier, and there were times when a pair of UP units did the same. Here we see one on a stone train. Its a long way from stack trains in Nebraska!! Of note is the C 420 on the adjacent track in the NYSW yard, along with what looks like an F unit. NYSW handled a lot of units for other short lines and regionals, and a lot of interesting power showed up from time to time.
