Norwich, NY (WBNG Binghamton) 40 miles of railroad track in Chenango County have been unusable since the flood of 2006...

This is great news. The NS infrastructure is at capacity. A perfect opportunity for transload capability! How can we help ensure that this can happen? Also, can we change the name of the thread? lol.

what is mean the south end of the utica branch might be fix?

Please read the link and there's your answer.

lets all hope. is happens

There must be something to this since the NYS&W has agreed to dish out 525K. Would be interesting to know what political will is behind CCIDA's application. One would hope the organization would have all its ducks in a row before releasing this statement. If so, this might be very promising indeed.

That's great news, I hope it does come to pass soon.
There has been another thread about the line: http://www.railroad.net/forums/viewtopi ... 57&t=36243
Perhaps one of the mods can merge these.

Another thread on this: http://www.railroad.net/forums/viewtopi ... 57&t=87716

with a new document:
