No one knew who owned this particulart set of tracks. So the fire department begins calling around to the different companies to find out who owns the tracks to alert them about the activity on the tracks and get the info for the logs. After calling around to the various companies (CSX, NS, Conrail, Amtrak, Septa, and the Port Authority), they all DENIED owning the tracks. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Hi Mike, <br /> <br />I would be running down to the deeds registration office to get [b]my name [/b put on that piece of track, since none of the roads that use it seem to want it. Then, as the new owner I would negotiate some favorable trackage rights agreements with them. Could be a source of considerable revenue! <br /> <br />Jeff
