NYS&W ANNOUNCES PLANS TO DISCONTINUE SERVICE ON 41 MILES OF UTICA BRANCH:
New York, Susquehanna, and Western Railway has filed legal notices announcing
its intention to formally discontinue 41 miles of track between Chenango Forks
in Broome County and Sherburne in Chenango County. The legal notice said the
Cooperstown- based railroad will seek an exemption from the U.S. Surface
Transportation Board relieving the railroad of its obligation to provide service
along the line. Fighting the move are the Chenango County Area Corporation
and Commerce Chenango, which say discontinuing the line will impede economic
development. Chenango County officials have been seeking federal assistance
to bring the track back to useable status; it was damaged in 2006 by heavy
flooding. The line has not been in use since then. The filing is not an
abandonment filing but a notice required legally for a line that is not in service,
said officials (Binghamton Press and Sun-Bulletin via Susquehanna Yahoo
Groups posted 8/11)
