When CSX took over a new section of track was installed connecting the NYS&W Line directly the Yard lead so that the coal drags could go up the NYS&W and then back into Solvay Yard with out blocking track 2. In any case tho it requires NYS&W or FGLK to contact the CSX Dispatcher to still make moves when interchanging cars which I have seen FGLK trains go up to Geddes street yard to drop off 1 or 2 cars on occation.scharnhorst wrote:We also got to think that that at any time Finger Lakes and Norfolk Southern could always win back the coal contract from the coal plant in Solvay, NY taking that train away from CSX if that were to happen NS would have to make room for that train as well down in Gang Mills.I guess it would depend on how the coal was shipped. Could Suzie-Q get access to the plant?
no matter the weather or the country I'll still be trackside!
