Mains In The News. After a bit of rearranging in Schenectady, Norfolk Southern SD60E 6983 (ex-NS 6665, SD60) lead train 11R (Mechanicville, NY [PAS]-East Binghamton, NY, PAS AYMO, CP 945) on Sunday, June 6, 2021. As the train passes through Delanson, New York, there are newsworthy details to take note of for current merger discussions. The train is running on the former Delaware & Hudson Railway Main Line, where it connects with both Pan Am Railways and Canadian Pacific. On the right is the D&H "Albany Main", currently leased to and served by SMS Lines. The sign indicates "Norfolk Southern Maint Limit", but under the CSX/NS/Pan Am STB filings, this trackage would be returned to NS and upgraded to carry a daily intermodal train (9,000 foot maximum) that will continue over the connection with CSX at Voorheesville, New York. The name of the village of Delanson itself carries railroad significance, a contraction of DELaware ANd hudSON.
