Local media are reporting that FGLK and NS are actively negotiating FGLK use of the OOS segment of the NS Corning Secondary between Geneva and Lyons. Although the reports are a little unclear, it sounds like FGLK would like to buy the segment outright rather than create a use agreement with NS as they currently have between Geneva and Himrod. Stated FGLK reasons for pursuing this are to create another east-west interchange with CSX and potential industrial development along the corridor between Geneva and Lyons.
Obvious questions in my mind are: what is the future for NS interchange traffic with FGLK if the Lyons segment returns to service and ultimately, the future of the Corning Secondary since its current reason for being is the aforementioned interchange traffic?
Perhaps K4 could shed some "official" light on the situation.
