Anticipation |
| Description: |
The crowd at Marathon station waits anxiously for the festival train led by 142 as it approaches the station. Note all the heavy coats. Despite the April date-the event was held the last weekend of March or first weekend of April-it's pretty chilly out, temps in the 20's. At least it's not snowing, which has been known to happen. |

Big crowds |
| Description: |
A large number of people elected to park in Cortalnd and take the train to Marathon-a good idea, since parking was a nightmare. Some of them are here checking out their unusual power at the station in Marathon, while a throng of festival goers wait to get on going back to Cortland. |

How do you water a steam engine. |
| Description: |
In the 1990s, with a fire hose. Since steam service facilities are entirely a memory on anything other than a tourist line, one has to improvise to get water in the tank. Mostly this is done with a fire hose, which is equal to the task, and usually available by prior arrangement. Here the ground crew of 142 sets up to fill the tender. |

The other end of the train |
| Description: |
Any other time, an SD 45 would be the focus of attention, as by this point, except on a few lines, they were becoming a rarity. Today its playing second fiddle to the steam engine on the other end. NYSW 3634 leads past the post office in Blodgett Mills, just south of Cortland. |

Unlike in the days when steam was an every day occurrence, low steam power has to improvise. The coal dock here is a dump truck. Whatever works!! |

Ready to go south |
| Description: |
During the Marathon Maple Festivals, NYSW would run shuttle trains from Marathon up to Cortland, primarily as a ride people attending the festival could take as part of the activities, but also as a way for people to reach the event. at while parking was a nightmare. Heres the train taking on passengers at the old DLW station in Cortland, with one of the historic crossing watchmens towers in front of the station. |
