In the next few images, i was able to catch one detour. not having the luxury of time, this was the pretty much the only one i caught, a Q111 detour. Note how the NYSW placed 20 cars of contaminated soil at the ehad end, which, BTW went all the way west to Chicago on the train! Anyway, here's the firs of the series, taken at Hawthorne:

Nice set of shots. Does the NYS&W typically run a 99 on Sunday Morning?

Not typically. But I'm a little rusty on my SU 99 and 100 schedules. With my move back to the area, I'm hoping to catch one or two daylight runs. I miss the old Q.
