Recently ecaped from the "clutches" of Guilford Transport Industries, D&H C424m 70 languishes at Kenwood yard with locos of the designated operator, NYS&W in October 1990.

NYS&W GE DASH 8-40Bs 4002 and 4008 of the designated operator of the D&H prior to the sale to CP Rail await another task at Kenwood Yard, Albany, NY in October 1990. NYS&W owned four of these 4000hp locos numbered 4002 to 4008, and to make sure their tenure as designated operator would be a success, leased a further 16 from CSX numbering these locos 4010 to 4040. Note that NYS&W allots only even numbers to their freight locos. Photo and scan by Neil C. Hunter.
