New York & Lake Erie Railroad receives $732,000 grant
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like Pablo said, $732k for a line with no customers? The A&A could have used that money to fix their line from Curriers to North Java. 500+ freight cars a year...
A man at the lumber company in Cherry Creek told me in March that they would like to use rail service, but the tracks have been OOS for years.

GOWANDA — The New York & Lake Erie Railroad just received $732,768 for rail line rehabilitation between South Dayton and Cherry Creek.
Owned by the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency, the line is operated by the Gowanda-based New York & Lake Erie Railroad.
Robert O. Dingman Jr., NY&LE president, who made the application for track and cross tie replacement to the state Department of Transportation, said for the first time it included a tourism component. Dingman said Thursday he will invest about $88,000, bringing the rehabilitation project to more than $400,000.
