I believe those tracks went OOS in the late 1980's. And they where abandoned/torn up in 1994. All under Conrail.
The line/rails from Lockport to Brockport was spun off to the Falls Road Railroad in 1996 after the tracks where removed East of Brockport. That was under Conrail. I doubt Conrail would have kept the property rights/liabilities on a roadbed they could no longer use as a through route.
"Sen. Chuck Schumer visited town Monday, joining local leaders to call on CSX act now to fix the bridge after failing to properly maintain it."
Hey Senator Schumer, here's a CLUE - It's a ROAD bridge owned by New York State, the RR has no obligation to "properly maintain it"..... CSX ought to sue NYS for allowing a NYS road bridge to potentially fall onto CSX property...
And you should see the bridge over the NYS Barge Canal about 300 feet North of this location.... 1920's vintage with a steel grate road surface and One Way with traffic signals on each end to enforce traffic direction. Talk about "properly maintaining" stuff, that bridge was built for Model T's.
Several "low road clearance" RR bridges carrying the now long removed rails over local roads (Manitou, Elmgrove and in Spencerport) where removed about 10 years ago with Federal Dollars that Senator Schumer brought back from Wash DC.
If CSX was not liable to remove those unused railroad bridges, I don't see how they are liable to repair a NY State roadway bridge over a roadbed CSX likely no longer owns.
Gillette Rd is on pretty high ground over that roadbed, I think they just need to scrap the bridge, fill in the cut and pave over it. Could be done in a few weeks, there are stone quarries within 10 miles for fill material and you could throw in a temporary gravel top surface until the asphalt plants fire up again in April.
Given NYS that's about a decade long project, first need to make sure there are no endangered Bats/Fleas/Rats/Moles/Voles/Crickets etc. living under the bridge, then excavate to check for ancient artifacts from folks living in the area 500 years ago, then do a study of the dirt in the the area to make sure you fill in the cut with identical dirt like what was removed when the rails where installed back about 1850 or so. And a full environmental remediation to capture any stray asbestos fibers that escaped from NYCRR steam locos that passed that location from 1850 to 1950...
Sounds like the locals will have a long wait.
