Farewell to matched Yellow Jacket Power sets on NYSW

Received the following via email from Kermit Geary, Jr.  Text, photos, and captions are his. 
Note: Kermit works for Sperry Rail Services. 

Gone are the days that you could count on a matched Yellow Jacket power set on the SU99/100 trains. Yesterday (Wednesday, 7-6-11) NYSW took delivery of 4 CEFX leasor SD40-2's and one HLCX GP38-2. It didn't take long for them to start using them as my next email will show. So enjoy these 4 scenes just taken with-in the past two weeks during our pilgrimage up the NYSW from Little Ferry to Syracuse with the Sperry Car #817.
