Rapid At The Rampo River. On Friday, April 21, 2023, a relatively early departure of New York, Susquehanna, and Western Railway SU-99 from Ridgefield Park, New Jersey to Binghamton, New York on a beautiful sunny day brought abundant sunshine to the second time a repainted SD70M-2 has led the road train in this direction. The train is seen crossing the Ramapo River in Oakland, New Jersey with its signature "S ball" logo. The trio of NYSW 4064 (SD70M-2), NYSW 3022 (SD40-2) and NYSW 3016 (SD33ECO) made good time across the Southern Division to arrive at this location in good light during this time of the season. This summer portends to be an interesting one for the NYSW, featuring a number of recently repainted locomotives.
From a hint of "Bee" (NKP 765), colorful "Bees" (KCS), "Bees" w/ "attitude", to "Bees" that "sting" your eyes, in their own way they have "Bee" on display! Equipment that "Buzzes" with Yellow & Black colors! ("Bees" can still "Bee" entering this "hive"!)
