Andrew- <br /> <br />You are lucky that your project is imaginary and based upon models. The real thing is much more difficult. As to your route questions: <br /> <br />1. The NYS&W between Syracuse and Binghamton follows the west bank of the Tioughnioga River south of Cortland. On the east bank is I-81. I don't know that there is an easy way to parallel it for miles in either direction. <br /> <br />2. East of Binghamton. I think you need to think more about your traffic base before you worry so much about routes. Think of all the lines that competed for traffic between NYC and Buffalo in times past. Look at the routes of the NYC, Erie, DL&W, LV, CNJ, and PRR. Remember also that most traffic no longer is gatewayed through Buffalo unless it is heading into Canada. It goes to gateways in Chicago, St. Louis and even KC. Plan accordingly. <br /> <br />3. If you haven't already,get a copy of"The Railroad, What it is, What it does" and read it. You will learn a great deal about what goes into some of the choices you can make and what their consequences will be as RR Sr. management. <br /> <br />LC
