Concur with the above. GPs and -2 era SDs now cover most yard service I see. There are BNSF and UP switch units drifting around, but they don't often leave Argentine or Neff.

Concur with the above. CSX has been using GP38-2's and GP40-2's as Rochester yard switchers since 1999, and Conrail was doing it before them..
its been a solid 20 years now that GP38-2's and GP40-2's have been the yard power for Rochester..
the yard is the only place I see those Class-1 GP's anymore, Road power is 99% 6-axle.
