The state and Adirondack Council have asked the federal government to reject a request to further delay having the railroad line to Tahawus declared abandoned.
New York state wants the stretch of rails between North Creek and the former mines in Tahawus considered abandoned because of a lack of rail activity. United Rail Inc., seeking to buy the remote line in northern Warren and Essex counties, has asked the U.S. Surface Transportation Board to continue to hold off on hearing the state’s request.
