New York, Susquehanna & Western Diesel Roster: All-Time (1941–2026)

Published: August 27, 2026

By: Adam Burns

The New York, Susquehanna and Western diesel story is two railroads on one reporting mark. From 1941 through the Maidman years it was a New Jersey Alco road—S2s, RS1s, then three new GP18s—that advertised itself in June 1945 as the first U.S. Class I to dieselize (three Russian Decapod 2-10-0s lingered as yard goats until October 1947). After Delaware Otsego took the franchise on September 2, 1980, Walter Rich restocked with secondhand Alco Centuries, then Burlington Northern SD45s and F45s for Sea-Land stacks, then GE B40-8s, and finally a quieter EMD six-motor fleet. Scot Lawrence’s compiled all-time diesel count is about 116 units. That is too many lines to bury inside the NYS&W history article, so this page is the companion roster, the same split American-Rails uses for the New York Central diesel roster.

How to read this roster

Even-numbered road diesels were MU-equipped; odd numbers were not. That Alco-era habit survived into later secondhand EMD and GE units. A few numbers were reused: the first RS1s #231 and #233 went to the Army in World War II and were replaced by a second pair; C430 #3002’s number was later parked briefly on a tunnel motor that became #3010; GP40 #3040 had been #256 (second). BN six-motors first wore their 6360- and 6500-series numbers, then the 3612–3638 series.

This is an owned and lettered diesel roster, not a photo log of every lessee that ever sat at Little Ferry. Big Dog Leasing U23B BDLX 2209 worked the property; it was never NYS&W 2209. Steam, including Chinese SY 2-8-2 #142, stays on the history page. Treat any single “current” number as a snapshot—confirm it against a recent photograph before you plan around it.

Current power (2025–26)

Heavy road power is four ex-Norfolk Southern SD70M-2s in yellow and black, bought in late 2020 / early 2021 and painted at Butler in 2023. Behind them sit the remaining tunnel-motor family, three SD40-2s (one in 1950s maroon-and-silver heritage paint), two reclassed SD45-2s, and GP40 #3040. SD60s in the 3800 series were roster fixtures in the 2010s; several later went to Western New York & Pennsylvania and New Orleans Public Belt.

Original dieselization, 1941–1962

Kidde ordered Alco S2 yard engines and RS1 road-switchers in 1941. The first pair of S2s, #202 and #204, arrived in December 1941. Two 20-ton Whitcombs came from the Army in 1946 for Edgewater; a new GE 45-tonner replaced them in 1958. The last new first-generation power was three GP18s in August 1962—the first Yellowjackets.

Alco RS1 road-switchers

The first pair, #231 and #233, were requisitioned by the Army in World War II, converted to six-axle RSD-1s, and sent overseas. Alco replaced them with a second #231 and #233 in 1943. Arrival of the 1947 RS1s finished steam. Odd numbers never had MU.

Delaware Otsego Alcos, 1980s–2000s

Rich put yellow and black on whatever secondhand Alcos Delaware Otsego could buy. The stars were five ex-New York Central C430s—the largest original C430 order, ten units for NYC. Two of the five were wrecked on February 3, 1987. Later came two of the three Alco C636 factory demonstrators (via Morrison-Knudsen and Cartier) and a half-dozen Montreal M636s from the same Cartier fleet.

C636 demonstrators and MLW M636s (Cartier fleet)

The eight Cartier Alco/MLW six-motors sat at Cohocton, New York, from late 2002, arrived on the Susquehanna 2004–05, and were sold in 2007 to lessors that placed them on WNYP / Delaware-Lackawanna. #3660 and #3662 were two of Alco’s three C636 demonstrators (636-2 and 636-3), later Morrison-Knudsen 5402/5403—not Australian units. The third demo, MK 5401, never wore NYS&W paint.

Burlington Northern six-motors (Sea-Land era)

Ex-BN SD45s and F45s made the railroad famous on stack trains over Gulf Summit and Starrucca. They first kept (or nearly kept) BN numbers in the 6360 and 6500 series, then took even 3612–3638 numbers. NYS&W later reclassed the two survivors as SD45-2s; they were built as SD45s. Norfolk & Western SD45 #1778 was a parts unit and never ran in Susquehanna service.

B40-8s, 4002–4048

Twenty-four Dash 8-40Bs were built new in Yellowjacket paint. The first four (#4002–4008) stayed into the 2000s and went to Providence & Worcester in 2004–05. The twenty units #4010–4048 were financed with CSX help in 1989 for stack trains (including the period when NYS&W was operating D&H). When CP took the D&H and the stacks faded, those twenty returned to CSX around 1991 as 5930-series B40-8s; several were later downgraded as CSX B20-8s.

Notes and caveats

  • Even = MU. Odd-numbered diesels were not multiple-unit equipped in the original scheme. Spotters still use that to read a photograph.
  • 116 is a compiled count, not a builder total. Lawrence’s all-time diesel list is the best single compilation in print/online for this railroad. Rebuilds (SD40T-2 to SD32ECO) and renumbers (2002/260/2010; 256 second; 3002 second) will make any two spreadsheets disagree by a few rows if you double-count.
  • C636 vs M636. #3660 and #3662 were Schenectady C636 demonstrators. #3664–3674 were Montreal M636s. Do not add them into the Alco C636 production total of 34.
  • No NYS&W 2209. Photographs labeled that way are BDLX 2209.
  • The live American-Rails roster (through 2024) still showed GP20s for sale, a B23-7, SD40s, and stored SD70Ms. That was a 2000s–2010s snapshot, not the 2026 railroad.
