Great video! I couldn't help but notice that the ditch lights didn't flash when the horn was used. They used to when the 4054 was on the NYS&W. Any idea on the reason for the change?
@JerseyGTO I know your comment is a year old, but as far as I know Susquehanna's engines ditch lights NEVER flash. None of the SD40T-2's SD45's or SD40-2's have flashing lights. Same deal with the SD70M's.
Cory, awesome catch. As an NYS&W follower it has been many years since we have seen the SD70s on our home rails. Some people I know who have recently gotten into the hobby have never seen them. Awesome catch and I'm glad they still sport the NYS&W color scheme!
Send them back home!! I need them for my latest DVD volume! :(
Actually the three engines are #4054, #4050, and #4052. The NYS&W has no odd numbered modern power; they used even engine numbers to indicate engines with MU capabilities.

I love the echos of that first train. The anticipation just builds each time you hear it.

At 1:16, it sounds like there was someone trying to jump the tracks or something.

Was that 1st crossing using a teardrop bell by any chance? It really sounded like one.
