Susquehanna Railway Roster and Survivors. (original) (raw)
| Compiling an "all-time" roster for most railroads, especially large railroads that began in the 19th century, is very difficult. For many railroads, such as the New York Central, its nearly impossible to accurately list EVERY locomotive ever owned by the company. But the NYSW is probably just small enough that an accurate all-time roster shouldnt be too difficult to determine. hopefully! The steam era of the NYSW is complicated and confusing, mainly due to the Erie railroad control between the years 1898 and 1940. But if we divide up the NYSW steam era into it's three clear divisions, it might be managable.. Steam era #1 - Beginning of the NYSW to Erie control - 1881 to 1898. Steam era #2 - The Erie Years - 1898 - 1940. Steam era #3 - Independance to "end of steam" - 1940 - 1947. The following steam roster data is compiled from four different books: The New York Susquehanna & Western Railroad. - by Robert E. Mohowski Erie Power - by Al Stauffer Susquehanna - by John Krause and Ed Crist. The History of the New York Susquehanna & Western Railroad - by Walter Arndt Lucas, published by the Railroadians of America in 1939 and reprinted and updated in 1980. there are some roster discrepncies between the books! when books disagree, I am going with the newest book (Mohowski) assuming the latest data is the correct data, but this may or may not be a correct assumption! ;) There are also two other NYSW books which I do not yet have in my collection: Susquehanna � from Shortlines to Stackpacks - by Ken Karlewicz and Scott Hartley New York Susquehanna & Western, In Color. - Morning Sun Books. And as always, I recieve lots of help on these lists from the great railfans and historians at www.railroad.net, www.railfan.net and www.rypn.org. (see links below) thanks! |

Susquehanna Steam Locomotives:
Steam Era #1 - 1881-1898 "Prior to Erie Control, Susquehanna operated with 87 Locomotives" - Mohowski nearly all of these 87 locomotives were of the 4-4-0 and 2-6-0 type. Even though the Susquehanna was not fully an Erie subsiderary until 1898, NYSW locomotives were ordered in "sub sets" of Erie locomotive orders before then, With the same specifications as the Erie engines, but lettered "Susquehanna" on the tender, and given an independent NYSW 2-digit number series. 4-4-0 Type - class? Number in class? Wheel arr road number class builder/date retired/scrapped notes photo 4-4-0 12 ? 2-6-0 Type Class F25 - 22 locomotives, all 22 in the class built for NYSW - Rogers 1881-1889, numbers 18-42, but not inclusive, there were gaps in the number series. Class F26 - 7 locos built for Erie, Numbers 45-51,Rogers, 1892 & 1893, 4 of the 7 assigned to NYSW.(which four were NYSW is currently unknown) Class F27 - 14 locos built for the Erie, Numbers 52-65, Rogers 1894-1897, 12 of 14 assigned to NYSW.(which 12 were NYSW is currently unknown) all locos in this class were Camelbacks Class F28 - Rogers 1894-1895. Number of NYSW locos in this class currently unknown. - all data from Stauffer 39 of the 87 pre-Erie NYSW locos can be confirmed as 4-6-0's..based on data so far. Wheel arr road number class builder/date retired/scrapped notes photo 2-6-0 49 F27 Rogers 1894-1897 camelback 2-6-0 57 F27 Rogers 1894-1897 camelback 2-6-0 63 2-6-0 65 
2-6-0 77 Steam Era #2 -The Erie Years - 1898 - 1940 The Erie fully controlled the NYSW during these years, but the NYSW had its own locomotives lettered "Susquehanna" and NYSW locos also had an independant number series from the Erie, NYSW locos generally had 2-digit road numbers, (except for the Russians) while Erie locos had 4-digit numbers. This is going to be the most difficult era to straighten out when it comes to what locos were actually assigned to the NYSW..it�s quite nebulous because of the Erie control. For the purposes of this webpage, I am going to include any locomotive that was ever lettered "Susquehanna" on the tender, regardless of if it was leased or owned. The following is the best I can do so far for a complete NYSW roster for the years 1898-1940, it includes the 1905 Susquehanna Roster from the 1939 Walter Arndt Lucas book. Which shows a mix of original NYSW locos, plus some new ones from the Erie. Class names are Erie classes, not the original NYSW classes. In addition to the 1905 roster, other locos that were known to be on the roster before 1940 are below. A total of xx locos are on this 1898-1940 roster, however not all operated at the same time! "The greatest number of locomotives owned at any one time by the NYS&W was 101. This number was reached in 1911 and continued until 1916, finally diminishing to the insignificant two owned in 1938." -Lucas, 1939. "In 1920, 92 locomotives were in use on The Susquehanna" - Mohowski Wheel arr road number class builder/date retired/scrapped notes photo 4-6-0 25 G-odd Rogers, 1893 named "Phillip T.

Between 1940 and 1947, NYSW leased/owned a total of 31 Steam Locomotives in four wheel arrangements: Five 0-6-0 Eight 4-6-0 Two 4-6-2 (but we have photos of FOUR!..perhaps renumburing? Or were there were actually four? Or..two were "Erie Years" pre-1940, and twp were Post-Erie) Sixteen 2-10-0 (were they the SAME sixteen from pre-1940? Unknown..) This era is more straight-forward and well documented, we should be able to figure it out with accuracy. Wheel arr road number class builder/date retired/scrapped notes photo 0-6-0 69 B-5

(more detail on each locomotive is above)
Notes:
*Note 1
4010 - 4048, twenty B40-8's, were built in 1989 and financed with help from CSX to operate the stack trains.
(Susquehanna was temporarily operating the D&H, and the stack trains were run over the Conrail southern tier main via D&H traffic rights)
With the loss of the stack trains when CP took over the D&H, these 20 units were returned to CSX around 1991.
4010 - 4048 only operated with NYSW a few short years between 1989 and 1991.
The other four B40-8's 4002, 4004, 4006 and 4008, operated with NYSW all through the 1990's and into the 21st
century, until being sold to the P&W in 2004 and 2005.
4006 (now P&W 4003) was in NYSW yellowjacket paint in July 2006, was repainted into P&W scheme by December 2006.
was the last yellowjacket B40-8.
*Note 2
231:1 and 233:1 were NYSW's first road diesels.
They were both requisitioned by the US govt and sent overseas for WWII.
(All 1941 Alco RS1 production was shipped overseas by the US govt for the war effort,
and all were rebuilt into RSD-1 types, with 6-axle trucks, including our two NYSW units)
They were replaced by 231(2) and 233(2) in 1943.
231:1 survives!
she went overseas in WWII along with sister 233:1, both converted to RSD1's (6-axle trucks)
231:1 returned to the USA after the war..her history is:
originally NYSW RS1 231:1 - then US Army 8000 - then to U.S. Navy 65-00575, then to Texas Industries 8000; Donated to the Age of Steam Museum in Dallas, Texas.
the "Age of Steam Museum" in Dallas is now called the "Museum of the American Railroad"
233:1 - Alaska RSD1 1085 - Alaska 1057 - US Army 8001 - nee NYSW 233:1 - scrapped 1965-67
see this page for more info on the WWII RSD's, including our two Susquehanna units.
*Note 3
Russian 2-10-0 notes.
2492 was the last decopod to operate, last day of operation - October 2, 1947
2454, 2472, 2481, and 2484 were returned to the Erie and sold, 2/4/1943, to Seaboard Air Line.
2435 and 2492 sold for scrap in september 1948, last two operating Russians.
*Note 4
Whitcombs 150 and 151, and GE 45 tonner 200,
all switched the Edgewater Seatrain operation.
200 replaced the two whitcombs in 1958.
200 was then sold to a mining operation in Quebec (Quebec Iron & Titanium) when the edgewater facility was shutdown. (year?)
200 was bought new in 1958, and survives today as Quebec Iron & Titanium #24
150 is preserved, the current fate of 151 is still unknown.
*Note 5
The eight Cartier Alcos and MLWs first arrived in Cohocton, NY in late 2002.
They sat there through all of 2003,
and in October 2004, the first unit arrived on the Susquehanna.
By August 2005 all eight were on the Susquehanna.
Click Herefor the complete Cartier unit timeline on NY Alcos
The Cartier units operated with NYSW from 2004-2007, and in 2007 all eight were sold by NYSW to leasing companys RRPX and Alco-C,
who then leased them to the Livonia, Avon & Lakeville railroad.

43, 45 and77are with the Susquehanna, but have not been confirmed operating
yet as of June 5, 2005.
June 4, 2005
Rumours have been going around that the Susquehanna plans to buy the ex-Cartier units, re-number them,
and possibly repaint them into NYSW yellow & black!!
(although repainting is probably just a rumour..it could happen, but is unlikely for awhile)
June 4, 2005
45 was reported outside the Utica shop numbured on the cab as NYSW 6366.
First ex-Cartier renumbured into the NYSW number scheme.
but still wearing the original Cartier colors.
She was being load tested, operating, nearly ready for service.
June 6, 2005
Cartier 43confirmed operating.
77 was reported possibly operating a few months ago, that was false, she has not yet been operating.
It has been reported in past months that ex-Cartier 75 and 85 may be of interest to the WNYP.
but it has also been rumoured that WNYP doesnt want them, and they will also go to
the Susquehanna..which way is true isnt certain yet.
stay tuned....
August 1, 2005
2 of the ex-Cartier units were briefly renumbured in the 6300 series. and are now in the 3600 series.
Cartier 45 was the first renumbured, to 6366, photographic proof of renumbured 6366 taken on June 4, 2005.
On July 30, the unit was spotted renumbured a second time, this time to3666.
So this unit went from Cartier 45 to NYSW 6366 to NYSW 3666. hopefully settled down now.
Cartier 43 was very briefly renumbured to 6370..perhaps only a few weeks in July 2005. by late July she was renumbured to 3670.
this unit went from Cartier 43 to NYSW 6370 to NYSW 3670.
Current ex-Cartier unit numbering status as of August 1, 2005:
41 - still #41, operating with NYSW
3670 - was briefly numbured 6370, perhaps only a few weeks in July,
was Cartier 43, operating with NYSW
3666 - was numbured 6366 for approx 2 months, June and July
was Cartier 45, operating with NYSW
47 - still #47, operating with NYSW
75 - still in Cohocton, not operating.
77 - with NYSW, but has not operated yet.
78 - still #78, operating with NYSW.
85 - still in Cohocton, not operating.
five of the eight are operating!
three still await a return to service.
August 19, 2005
The final two ex-Cartier units that remained in Cohocton, 75 and 85, arrived in Binghamton on 8-17-05.
they were renumbured to NYSW 3672 and 3674 before they left Cohocton.
that makes it official! all EIGHT of the "things" are now with Susquehanna!
as of 8-19-05, it isnt clear if 3672 and 3674 are operating yet.
The units were towed to Binghamton, not operating.
They never actually operated as SIXX 75 or RRPX 85,
they had those numbers "on paper", but were never physically lettered with those reporting marks and numbers,
they recieved their NYSW numbers before they left Cohocton.
