It's funny that the official link says this. The D&H is high on the hill on the east side of the property with no direct access, nor any practical way to put it in (IMHO). Only the NYSW directly acesses the site, from the south end. Maybe they imply the D&H has trackage rights over the NYSW to the depot? Even so, they would have to get on the NYSW all the way down in Binghamton. JS

When I read the word "depot" I instantly thought of "train station." But, no, it is an old military or government supply depot. And here I was thinking, "How can they sell only a portion of a train station?"
