Nothing came up in google news results, but a general google search revealed this:

Hey Joe, while you're at it, send one to Malloy telling him to get service to New Milford already! Maybe he can lease DRM's Budd car.... ;-)

Below is a link to the zoning commission hearing in Nov. 2013. Starts around page 6. Looks like they approved it way back then. O & G may have decided it wouldn't work for them.

Actually got an e-mail from Mayor's office late today. Mayor wanted my phone # to discuss it with me. We'll see how that goes.

Mayor Murphy did confirm passing of easement for O&G spur. She is VERY pro rail. She would like to have the O&G trucks off of RT. 7.
Wants passenger rail to Pittsfield, too.
So, is O&G holding this all up? Have to go to Main st. in Danbury, and see if any line clearing has been done.
Hopefully, I can photo progress with clearing vegetation.

I ride by O&G plant on Seagar street a couple times a week and haven't noticed any out of ordinary.

Thanks Maybrook fan. Was just that way recently, too. Maybe I should contact O&G.
