Is the track in Binghamton (former CR main tracks) still completely a wreck like it was a year ago when I last saw it?

This past year saw NS hire 166 new employees, including 140 former D&H employees with experience working the corridor. NS also installed 90,000 new crossties, resurfaced 84 miles of track and made improvements to New York's Belden Tunnel to improve safety and service on the line.
