Getting Schumer off their side is critical as he's promised to twist some arms at the STB. Let him know that he's in bed with people who balance their county budget by assuming they can violate federal law, i.e. scrap a railroad before abandonment or railbanking. A good rail attorney wouldn't hurt either. And has the county filed with the STB yet?

On Saturday we will be running in Mt. Tremper and Kingston.
In Mt. Tremper, George Peck plans to support the train crews through the first run, then his crew will switch to Phoenicia where they will continue work cleaning up the Phoenicia yard. Meet at 9:30am at Mt. Tremper.
I plan to lead a brush crew on Saturday. More details later. Contact me directly if you want to join up.
Sunday, June 23rd
Trains will be running in Mt. Tremper.
In Kingston, George Peck and Mark Glaser will lead a track crew starting at 9am at Cornell Street Yard. Plans are to continue installing ties west of C9 so our Kingston City Limited can go further west to Route 209.
