Pennsylvania rail authority seeks STB approval to buy NS line


advertisement
The Pennsylvania Northeast Regional Railroad Authority (PNRRA) has filed a docket with the Surface Transportation Board seeking an exemption to purchase a 10.6-mile line from Norfolk Southern Railway.

The line, which is located in Monroe and Northampton counties, will continue to be operated by the Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad Co. Inc.

The line purchase is subject to NS retaining overhead trackage rights. PNRRA and the Class I expect to consummate the deal in three separate phases after Nov. 3.

Owned by Genesee Valley Transportation Co. Inc., the 87-mile Delaware-Lackawanna Railroad interchanges with NS in Portland, Pa., and with Canadian Pacific Railway in Scranton, Pa.
