Chasing NYSW BH-X "Operation Toy Train" on the NYSW Syracuse Branch December 6, 2025

Created with Corel VideoStudio. On December 6, 2025 I chased Operation Toy Train on the New York, Susquehanna & Western Syracuse Branch. Operation Toy Train runs special trains during the holiday season to collect donated toys for Toys for Tots. Operation Toy Train stops at multiple locations across the United States of America, where members of the public can drop off toys, meet Santa Claus and meet members of the United States Marine Corps and the Operation Toy Train program. For this run, the train ran south on the New York, Susquehanna & Western Syracuse Branch from Syracuse, NY to Binghamton, NY. I chased it south as far as Cortland, NY and made numerous stops along the way. This is the first time that Operation Toy Train ran on the Syracuse Branch.
