NYS&W SU-99 with all Four SD70M-2's across North Jersey

After an out of the ordinary week for the New York Susquehanna and Western Railway, Friday March 15th would see a massive daylight running of road freight SU-99 from Bogota, NJ to Binghamton, NY. Two daylight runnings of the SU-100 without any return SU-99 earlier in the week would mean that all four of the railroads SD70M-2's (4060, 4062, 4064 and 4066), along with SD45-2 3634 and heritage unit SD40-2 "the silver bullet" 3024, would lead a 108 mixed freight consist westbound into New York. The departure time was in the morning as were each of the two preceding SU-100's, although these are usually scheduled for overnight runs respectively.
I was able to grab some new angles of the train as it traversed from Maywood Station, the "five way" intersection from the Midland Park side, Newfoundland Station, and finally Sparta Junction before the train eventually continued into New York state.

Like the transition from old NYS&W tracks to the old Lehigh and Hudson tracks.

Thank you, I've been dying to catch a daylight train through there. Maybe I'll focus there for a video and do some more exploring by drone

I live north of Binghamton and see the Susie Q in action a bit but never realized how far south they traveled. Thanks for the post.

[@northjerseyaerialrail9597]

For a short line railroad, they certainly do extend quite a reach throughout the north east. Thank you!

[@Mastertech6]

GREAT SHOT!! of Sparta loop, very rare. Thanks!

[@northjerseyaerialrail9597]

Thank you!! I'd been dying to get up there to see a train come through it!

[@tightmike4945]

Some of your best! Loved the 'Newfoundland Station' footage! Great Peter Dinklage movie made there, (The Station Agent)

[@northjerseyaerialrail9597]

Much appreciated!!

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

I remember when the old Morris County Central tourist railroad operated out of Newfoundland! What a fun ride that was! Great to see the Newfoundland station's being so well maintained!

[@DarkTerritory71]

This was great! Especially the drone shots!

[@northjerseyaerialrail9597]

Thank you!

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

The only complaint about this one is it's too short! Great footage and flying and I loved every second!
(Or maybe you're just following the old show-biz adage "Always leave them wanting more!")
Thanks so much for posting!

[@northjerseyaerialrail9597]

Much appreciated!

[@Harrison2253]

great footage 👍

[@northjerseyaerialrail9597]

Thank you!

[@user-id9fv6of6x]

Wonderful camera/drone shots. As I have stated many times before, watching your offerings is like having your own personal & live "train set"!!!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@northjerseyaerialrail9597]

Thank you I appreciate it

[@tedmaas3588]

Excellent drone footage, very well done, love it!

[@northjerseyaerialrail9597]

Thank you! Much appreciated!

[@leekresser8384]

Really nice aerial video!!! Cool shot where train reflected in long trackside puddle. Great shot of the Y, too.

[@northjerseyaerialrail9597]

Thank you much appreciated

Tremendous video. L9ng live the NYS&W. I find it to be one of the most alluring and intriguing roads in the whole northeast. I see a lot of the flavor of the old NYO&W in this road.

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

And the Suzy-Q travels through some very interesting locales, from the congested 'burbs near NYC to the spectacular Skylands of North Jersey. There's parts of NJ that don't have to take a back seat to any part of the US as far as scenery is concerned.

[@northjerseyaerialrail9597]

Though not highly regarded by the rest of the country, North Jersey certainly has its own allure and the mixture of terrain along the NYS&W makes it a favorite to fly

[@lesterawilson3]

Nice drone footage!

[@northjerseyaerialrail9597]

Appreciate it!

[@armandisip2287]

Thanks for these great aerial shots! I’d almost mistake the trains were in HO, N or Z scale. 😅

[@northjerseyaerialrail9597]

Drone shots of trains certainly make the appear that way!

[@LibertyRailfan]

Great video John awesome scenes & chase.

[@northjerseyaerialrail9597]

Thank you Adam!

[@RoadTripTelevisionNJ]

Wow! 😲😲😲 Great aerial shots above, including Sparta and West Milford Township, NJ.

[@northjerseyaerialrail9597]

Thank you! More to come!

Great video!! Much too short

[@northjerseyaerialrail9597]

Thank you!!

[@a.r.gentum6517]

Quality video... the highest compliment I can pay.... no fucking stupid narration and useless background "music."
Your work and effort speak for themselves.
I'm thinking of hiring out on this railroad.... I appreciate the "intel." wink wink. Quick edit.... I forgot to mention.... your editing is top notch.

[@northjerseyaerialrail9597]

Much appreciated!! No need for anything hokey here. Sometimes it's better to keep it simple. Good luck!

[@joestrainworldvideos3977]
