I saw evidence of a Jordan spreader on CSX north of Watertown, NY today. I know there is one stationed at Watertown.
CSX runs right through the area that's been in the news lately - It more or less follows I-81 from Watertown to Syracuse. Pulaski - which got plenty of snow and news coverage - is right on the Montreal Secondary. As far as I know, things are running along OK.

CSX goes right into Oswego (Fulton Secondary Track). Also, as mentioned the Montreal Secondary passes right through the worst snow area. Also, in addition to Jordan Spreadersthere are a number of ex-CR plows in the area and a flanger or two.
