These three pictures were taken in July of 1974. 
NEW YORK, SUSQUEHANNA AND WESTERN
Basically a New Jersey only shortline for many years, the Susquehanna was on the verge of abandonment in the late 1970's when the line was purchased by Walter Rich. Beginning in 1980 the 'Suskie' grew steadily and then almost overnight became a large regional carrier when it temporarily assumed operation of the Delaware and Hudson. Following the sale of the D & H to CP, the 'Suskie has gradually retrenched, although very much active. Today it operates its original main line from Little Ferry, NJ to Sparta Jct., a portion of the former Lehigh and Hudson River from Sparta Jct. north to Campbell Hall, NY and also the former Lackawanna branches to Utica and Syracuse from Binghamton, NY. They have haulage rights over the southern tier ( Erie ) between Campbell Hall and Binghamton.
The photographs below are from 1974 through 1992. Beginning in Little Ferry which is the roads home terminal:
These three pictures were taken in July of 1974.

The railroad actually extended a little further east from Little Ferry and ran through the Palisades in a tunnel and had track along the Hudson River waterfront in the town of Edgewater, NJ. Here are several pictures taken on a very lucky day for me. July 7, 1980. RS-1 252 was fully painted up for the 1976 USA Bi-Centennial.
This area was abandoned by the railroad after the major customer in Edgewater closed up. The area is now filled with parking lots, stores, condominiums and a marina.
Here is 252 returning to Little Ferry passing under Highway
1&9 in North Bergen, NJ.
After returning to Little Ferry the unit went to work switching the yard.
While 252 works a cut of cars, 1802 enters the yard. Check out those boxcars and the coach in the background!
Here is some freight equipment the Susquehanna owned that has seen better days.
The
Bergen Record is the areas major newspaper and their printing plant is a
Susquehanna customer.
This caboose has a New Haven look to it, but it was built new for the Suskie in
1948. Two remain existent today
In 1981 the 'Suskie' ran their first major railfan trip. 
Both pictures in Little Ferry.
A few more pictures of the Little Ferry terminal through the years.

Through the 1980's the GP-18's remained the primary power. In 1988 the Susquehanna bought several BN SD45's and numbered them in the 3600 series. For those not familiar with the Susquehanna, units with MU capability are evenly numbered and the units are numbered based on horsepower ( except the original Alco's and the 120 above.). Three GE 4000 hp units were purchased shortly thereafter, numbered 4000, 4002, 4004.

Around 1992 the Susquehanna closed their old engine terminal.
At the new facility, E8 2402 and a former UP unit sit. 120 and 116, a genuine former Ontario & Western NW2.
Two images from June 27, 2009. The NS and CSX units are leased.
Back again to July 7, 1980, here is 1800 bringing a long cut of cars from the Conrail interchange.

On the 1981 fan trip, a car derailed in Oakland, NJ and it made for quite a scene.

Butler, NJ was the end of commuter service in the old days.
Today, Butler is the site of the railroads maintenance yard. That boxcar needs to be covered up !!

A 2009 photo.
The remains of Beaver Lake station taken in 1987.
The Beaver Lake area in June of 2009. In typical Susquehanna fashion, the
station
has simply collapsed into a pile of rotting wood.
Today the Susquehanna main ends at Sparta Jct. A new
connection was built to allow freights heading to Binghamton to turn north on
the former
Lehigh and Hudson River. From Sparta Jct. west, the line was abandoned
after the old Lehigh and New England shut down in 1961.
Thankfully, the former right-of-way has been very well preserved by the State of
New Jersey as a rails-to-trail. It is about 25 miles long and goes
from Sparta Jct. to the Delaware River near Columbia, NJ. Some of the
points of interest are marked with small signs.
This is the former junction at Swartswood. The remains of 'JU' cabin
remain. This was the
point where the Lehigh & New England joined the Susquehanna coming south
from Maybrook, NY. The third photo is exactly where the two lines
split. The NYS&W is more clearly visible, while the L&NE bears off
to the left in the faint clearing. View looks north (eastbound).
An old bridge abutment about 2 miles down from Swartswood.
Two views at the site of the Stillwater, NJ station. The depot stood on
the east side of the crossing near
those mailboxes. An old creamery building remains there today. Views
also look north.
The very small town of Marksboro. The rail-trail is walkable, but a
bicycle may be difficult due to the soft ground.
Blairstown was a significant community in this very rural area. Still is
today ! Although the right-of-way has been altered by
a park, some evidence remains. The tracks were located along the stone
wall and those buildings show up in old photos. The Route 94 bridge
over the right-of-way remains and is visible in the distance in this photo.
Hainesburg, NJ was another significant point for the NYS&W. The
Lackawanna built
their cutoff in 1909 and bridged the valley with this massive concrete
span. It has dominated the area since, albeit unused for over thirty
years.
Located almost directly underneath the viaduct was the NYS&W depot.
There is a small sign and some debris marking its location. (First pic)
The second image is looking north (eastbound) along the right-of-way. The
third image shows the remains of a creamery. Dairy farming and the
movement of fresh milk to the cities around New York was a major business for
the railroads in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
A short distance west of the Hainesburg depot was Hainesburg Jct. Here the
L&NE split off from the Susquehanna and headed
toward Portland, PA. This image looks west at the junction point.
The L&NE was to the right, the Susquehanna straight ahead.
Barely visible in the brush is the remains of the junction's operator
shanty. The base of the order board pole
still exists. The Susquehanna and the L&NE had their interchange
here. The L&NE was a tenant over the NYS&W. The fact that
this was the
furthest point west allowed the NYS&W to get credit for the few extra miles
of the haul.
This was a tool shed used by the L&NE and remains today at the junction
site.
From Hainesburg Jct. the Susquehanna main headed west into
Pennsylvania and was built to reach the anthracite coal mines near Wilkes-Barre.
Never truly attaining its goal, the Susquehanna pulled out of Pennsylvania
sometime during the depression years of the 1930's. As long they had
a revenue source with the L&NE interchange at Hainesburg, the main ended
there. After the L&NE shut down in October 1961, the railroad was
abandoned and removed west of Sparta Jct.
A very well preserved depot in Stroudsburg, PA remains today. Trail photos
taken March 22, 2009.
When the Susquehanna expanded into upstate New York, Binghamton became the focal point of operations. Particularly when they operated the D & H in the early 1990's. CSX funded several GE B40 units which came in full Susquehanna paint. They are now in service for CSX.

Ex-LIRR 2010 Wrecked 3004 3002 in service 3636 and 4004 in the East Binghamton yard.
One of the trains operated by the Susquehanna for the D & H were trains RPPY and PYRP between Rouses Point, NY and Potomac Yard, Alexandria, VA.
Here former BN SD45 6361 leads PYRP out of the Allentown, PA yard headed
north
These trains had to reverse direction in Allentown yard as there is no direct
connection from the former CNJ down from Scranton to the former Reading west out
of the yard. The engines had to run around their train.
Train RPPY departs Allentown heading west on the former Reading. From here
the train went to Reading, PA and then down the former Reading main to
Philadelphia to reach to old B & O main. This was very similar to the old
NE-84 and NE-87 trains. They ran from Portland, Maine to Potomac yard via
the Boston & Maine, D & H, Lehigh Valley, Reading and the B &
O.
One other operation that the Susquehanna ran in the early 1990's was the freight portion of the Staten Island Rapid Transit. This was originally owned and operated by the B & O and the Suskie became the designated operator for a short time.
Both photos taken at Cranford Jct., NJ in 1991.
