A small, but important, part of NYS&W's Utica NY branch is comprised of ex-NYO&W and West Shore trackage. The O&W line serves a warehouse in New Hartford while the West Shore line serves several businesses in New York Mills. I came upon the crew today after they switched out six boxcars from the New Hartford warehouse. They were then heading to NY Mills to pick-up an empty covered hopper.

The first picture shows GP40 3040 with "one foot" on O&W trackage and the "other foot" on the West Shore.

The second photo shows the conductor on the ground, having just thrown the "O&W" switch.

The third photo: All Aboard for the Mills!

And here is the 3040 a little earlier in the afternoon, westbound on NYS&W's ex-NYO&W trackage in New Hartford, NY. It is en route to switch out six boxcars from Oneida Warehouse.
