On an historical note, with the loss of this customer, the NYS&W will no longer use the former O&W trackage, a remnant of the "Old & Weary's" Utica Branch. Smurfit was always THE major customer on this little spur (approx 2 miles long), which includes a bridge over the Sauquoit Creek, but a building firm (Carparelli Bros.) used to receive an occasional boxcar and, every blue moon or so, Niagara Mohawk received an shipment. The NiMo siding was removed many years ago, however, and the end-of-the-line trackage leading to Carparelli has been OOS for a long period too. As a life-long New Hartford resident, it is very sad to see the end of this line on the horizon.
