Anyone know what customers MA&N still serves out of Carthage/Lowville? I know Slack Chemical is still shipping by rail, but I don't know about the rest. CSX took 115 cars up there on Tuesday and MA&N took them up the Newton Falls line on Wednesday into storage, the storage line is as far south as Diana Center currently.
Well as far as current customers I think I figured it out on my own, Slack Chemical is the main customer and it seems that Climax Paper in West Carthage also still receives a few deliveries a year. The Lowville line is being used for storage along with the Newton Falls line. However there was a meeting held recently on the future for this line and their was a better than expected turnout, article below.

Getting state funding could be difficult given the current budget, but it's at least good to see that there are multiple customers interested in rail service in this area.
