Talk:New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway

message: I cleaned the links to the article, all redirects bypassed.  I'd love to see a picture of the GP18's, all 3 together if possible, from when they were first purchased.  It would make a great addition to the section dealing with dieselization.  The NYSW was one of the original GP18 customers and bought 1800, 1802 and 1804 brand new, and they're still working today.  I did come across a roster of power that should be linked to, or even a new article created.  I'll get the link on the references section asap.  Kether83 16:39, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I see someone is starting to chronicle the adventures of 142 in the article. I suspect NYS&WT&HS involvment. Probably so they can take credit for this article, much in the same way they took credit for the Maywood station restoration when 99% of the T&HS had NOTHING to do with the station restoration. 3D jonny 22:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Easy does it.. we all love the same road, right?  Anyway, the 142 "saga" is something I'm pretty much all in the dark about.  As a kid, I rode behind it when it was a Valley RR locomotive, and later as a NYS&W one, so those are pretty much my only in-person experiences.  I know it was down by P-burg for a while, but they built a shed at Butler for it.  I'm sort of confused, so any info is welcome, right?  Kether83 03:22, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I take it you have had no dealings with the group. Consider yourself lucky. I won't go into specifics here, but ask around and you'll know what I mean. The engine is no longer owned by the railroad, so any information past it going into storage is irrelevant to the article. Most of the time the tender isn't even lettered SUSQUEHANNA anyway. 3D jonny 12:15, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't dealt with them in many years... the last time I spoke with anyone it was a letter I got from Rich Onorevole.  I worked with the VRA before I moved to Boston and worked/rode on one of their SD speeder runs.  They seem to be the group to follow Kether83 19:42, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: New Update

message: I made a Central New York Railroad article - I'll come up with a way to edit the article text to incorporate the CNY, but for now I think the little info there is is adequate for the NYSW article.  I'll take some pictures of the CNY when I'm down that way - should be this weekend. Kether83 19:42, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Apparently Walter Rich has lost his battle with cancer, can anyone confirm this? Kether83 12:06, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, He passed away a few weeks ago. I don't have a news paper link, but he died in the beginning of the month. 3D jonny 18:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

text: He died on August 9.  See  for one obit.  There will likely be something in Trains magazine next month too. Slambo (Speak) 19:06, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That link seems dead, this one  is good as of now.  While an article for him doesn't exist and wouldn't be justified as per the Wiki-Regulations, I think he does deserve a section, but in which article?  I'm would suppose the Delaware Otsego Corporation one. Kether83 05:16, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

===GA Sweeps: Delisted===
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I believe the article currently has multiple issues that need to be addressed, and as a result, I have delisted the article. Although a few inline citations are present, there are multiple sections that lack citations throughout the article. I have left additional comments below that can be used for improving the article to return it to GA status. Add additional citations from a variety of sources to provide a balanced representation of the information present. Perhaps sources can be pulled from the main articles linked to within the article. Look to books, magazines, newspaper articles, other websites, etc. Although the article has been delisted, the article can be return to GA status by addressing the below points. Once sources are added and cleanup is done, I recommend renominating the article at WP:GAN. If you need assistance with any of these issues, please contact me on my talk page and I'll do my best to help you out. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 02:22, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Route Diagram 

message: As of 2006, after the massive flooding, the NYSW chose to abandon much of the Binghamton-Utica route from Binghamton to Sherburne due to high cost of replacing bridges that were damaged. There are no plans to use this section of the railroad again.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.74.105.245 (talk) 12:35, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
