I was  just reading the August Railpace and there's a blurb in the middle of
page  47 claiming that a bridge on the north of Hornell on the old Erie line
to  Buffalo, referred to as the Portage Bridge, is in bad shape and  the
viability of the NS line from Binghamton to Buffalo is in  jeopardy.

Does anyone else know the story behind this? I doubt the line  is in
"jeopardy". I would think the state of New York and NS would work  together
to get it fixed; the state is the main reason the line survives to  this day.

Does anyone have a picture and/or stats on this Portage  Bridge?


 
 
Didn't NS just run a OCS/Business train with those ABBA F units over  that 
Bridge?? I would think this bridge would carry  additional trains for the new 
"Patriot Corridor" that NS proposes.  Perhaps NS is looking at rebuilding the 
bridge.?
