Building has been purchased by national developer Gordon Reger . As far as preservation that’s a good thing but unknown if it will continue as a restaurant.

Thanks for the update Matt. Down to 6 trains a day... I can remember in the early 90s it was almost 20 a day.

The article mentioned under the pic that NS is going to look for a more creative route for their New England bound traffic to go south... whatever that means.

This is the same railroad that spent 250 million to add onto Bellevue Yard only now to shut the hump and most of the operations there. A couple of trains a day means nothing to them. It’s the operating ratio and nothing else

https://railsandports.com/2021/02/ns-si ... inghamton/. It sure seems like NS could care less about anything but it’s core route system and boutique traffic. This company doesn’t fight for traffic anymore.

I have read that NS is attempting to deactivate the signal system on the Sunbury line and / or other parts of the D&H due to lack of traffic and no future traffic envisioned. I predict NS will eventually attempt to sell the D&H and possibly their operations in NYS east of Buffalo. Not the NS...

Like I previously mentioned at the beginning of this thread, my gut feeling is NS will eventually pull out of NYS, sell Southern Tier line, the D&H, even northeast of Cleveland. High NYS taxes, very little online business, zero coal traffic, a few trains a day and a regression for growth. This c...

With CSX and NS on the Pan Am line, they could split the cost for upgrades, tunnel clearance and probably get state funding to help

NS doesn’t want to purchase the PAS route , or Pan Am, because it will inadvertently affect their operating ratio, which is all they care about nowadays. NS has been in trim only mode system wide for almost two years. This position by CSX is forcing their hand which they didn’t want to do. That CSX ...

And Mike Farrell is out, who assuming, thought he was going to get COO when Mike Wheeler retired. Interesting move by NS

My theory with NS is that they want their core routes, similar to the Conrail “X”, and that’s why they probably didn’t make a play for the Pan Am. If Wick Moorman was still running NS I believe they would have already done this and there never would have been an announcement of a sale. Nor would the...

Again just my gut feeling... CN buys most of the Pan Am, rest of Pan Am gets divided to other railroads interested, NS sells the southern tier line to CN and their interest in the NYS&W, NS sells back the D&H to CP Rail, NS / CN work out sale or trackage rights for Buffalo to Cleveland ( con...

If NS truly wanted Pan Am they would have already worked out a deal for it. NS is only interested in its heavy traffic lines. Maybe Pan Am approached them before putting up the for sale sign to see if there was interest. So far they’ve shown zero. Cutback mode for NS, hold on to that cash for the st...

My prediction is that NS will eventually sell part of the old Nickel Plate , Cleveland to Buffalo.

If Wick Moorman was still running NS , they would try to by Pan Am. Not this regime, I just don’t see it. I can see them selling the southern tier line to CN , trackage rights to Girard , PA to connect with their own line ( B&LE ) , selling to CN their half of the NYS&W and CP buys the D&...
