I'm not sure as far as trackage rights go but I know they are still doing interchange there currently.

There have been many rumors of Binghamton to Kase and Binghamton to Schenectady. Until it happens its all rumors, but lets face it NS dominates 95 percent of that traffic anyway on those lines and CP's have been dwindling in the past few years. When it happens is anyone's guess but I would almost la...

Thanks You can hold both or change if you want. I heard its kind of a pain to switch but only cause you are in one and switchi...
