Gotta think big picture. NS doesn't want to fix the track, the county/state/whatever gov't authority takes it, just like Ontrack.

Walkway Over the Hudson opens
Published (2009-11-11 02:25:00)
Tuesday, November 10th, weather mostly cloudy and temperature in the low to mid 50's. I had a most wonderful walk over this historic bridge. I was not sure that I could walk over from Highland to Poughkeepsie but not only did I walk all the way east but almost halfway back before my friend said enough was enough and arranged for a ride the rest of the way for me. I am paying for this tonight with aches that I haven't had in many...

Word on the street is the train is being used for some sort of Hazmat drill in Cayuga. I am not 100% sure on this or when this will happen but I would assume sometime this weekend.

Today was such a gorguos day weather wise and with nothing to do, I decided to head out and do some exploring. So I headed to Alexander. I really wasn't sure what to expect because all I've seen is from 3000 feet. Quite different from ground level. Here's what I saw. While sitting on the r-o-w looking south at Cargil, the rails are still in place including a siding. As far down as I could see ...
