[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Junctionfan ....Anyways back to my railroad. The company needs to start expanding and we need to go to New York. I propose a line that goes from Syracuse to Binghamton (might buy the existing NYSW line if available) and from Binghamton, travel along the Deleware River to New York (I think it will be parallel to NS). This will greatly expand our intermodal potential as well as general merchandise opportunities now to both New York, Binghamton and the other cities with rail demand along the way. [/quote] Andrew- First make a service application (Mr. Chaaalie apply blake prease...), NYS&W's line from Syracuse to Binghamton is owned by various subdivisions of New York State. NYS&W is largely controlled by NS and CSX who paid a punishing amount of money to buy that influence. They won't sell to an outsider. Even if they did, the state would have to approve it. Second, the NYS&W does not have a line east of Binghamton. That is the NS Southern Tier Line that NYS&W has trackage rights only over it. The NS is very touchy about the whole thing and then there are the issues with MN and NJT that operate commuter service on the line east of Port Jervis, NY. LC
