With both New York, Susquehanna & Western Utica NY based engines down, the NYS&W looked to neighboring road, Mohawk, Adirondack & Northern, for assistance. The MA&N loaned the Susquehanna No. 2456, an ALCo C425 built in October 1964 for the Erie-Lackawanna.

NYS&W's Utica Branch was once operated by the E-L and 2456 was a veteran of this line. So it was a homecoming of sorts.

This video shows some highlights of 2456's first day back on its old stomping grounds:
