Stopped trading because the stock started rising quickly and triggered
a circuit breaker. Was halted for less than 10 min.

This does not indicate if the deal will actually take place.

The companies are just talking.

NSC trading up $9.50, all major rail stocks higher now.

This starts the next round of mergers.

I guess CP likes the former D&H line they just sold, they are buying all of NS to get it back!

Had a great day Saturday. Met some serious fans in Dalton NY in the morning and caught the train coming eastbound. Followed the train to Canaseraga then took another route to Hornell and arrived 2 minutes before 765 arrived. Spoke to some people on the rear car as the train was stopped and then drov...

Any flood damage to the former Erie line from flooding in Swain and Hornell? I see pictures just posted on
Facebook. The storm took place Tuesday around 5 PM.

It looks severe.

If you are coming down I-81 from Binghamton to Scranton, get off the interstate at Great Bend and ride south on US 11 which is parallel. US 11 is the Lackawanna Trail and is part of the old roadbed. You will go right by the Viaduct which is celebrating its 100th birthday this year. Continue south on...

Yes, the Depot Restaurant was just north of the canal on the west side of Main Street Pittsford.

I recall that restaurant was parallel to and just south of where the tracks would have been.

The food was good.

I saw on the news tonight that police now think the 2 escaped convicts took freight trains. They were spotted in Erwins, NY and the news showed trains running through the NS yard in Gang Mills. Later they were spotted in Friendship, NY, which is on the old Erie main line to Meadville. The line is no...

I don't recall the DL&W Corning to Buffalo line being single tracked prior to the merger.

After the merger, it was briefly single tracked before it was removed between Wayland and Groveland.

In Archer's Lehigh Valley book he makes no mention of a previous survey in his chapter on the extension from Geneva to Buffalo. While the "act" allowed the NY&OM to sell bonds along the proposed route, only Genoa is actually mentioned. When the Lehigh Valley decided to build from Genev...
