Anybody know why they are tearing up the tracks in Sherburne at the railroad crossing? Hopefully it's just for maintenance or repair.

not 100% sure they might be putting new crossing there

Here's UT-1 on October 1st:

The video opens with No. 3040 taking four hoppers southbound on Schuyler Street and follows with captures in Chadwicks, Sauquoit, Paris Station, Waterville and, a few hours later, back in the Utica area on former NYO&W Utica Division tracks in New Hartford.

"not 100% sure they might be putting new crossing there"

You're correct, I drove through Sherburne today and they have a brand new concrete railroad crossing.
That's got to be a positive sign.

now theirs new crossing in sherburne next thing will it be use will it ever see a train cross it i doubt it

UT-1's Oct 6 & 7 southbound runs on Schuyler Street are featured here:

i doubt it but if theirs any chance they running any trains or light engine to chenango forks from utica in the near future

theirs talk on facebook that nysw engine 3040 had broken down if so what are they using for temp engine?

Pretty sure they just bought another GP40 off NS - was wondering if maybe this was sent to Utica?

Railroading Rambler just posted a youtube video showing MA&N 2453 retrieving 3040 and train:
