WC 29-19 - RFP for Operation or Sale of Rail Line

The County of Warren and the Town of Corinth, are owners of railroad tracks and a station and certain other buildings, platforms and supporting facilities lying and existing in the Counties of Warren and Saratoga between the Town of Corinth and North Creek in the Town of Johnsburg. The rail line travels a course which at one point takes it along the northerly part of the Hudson River to North Creek, New York and has a connection available to the Canadian Pacific Line to points south (Saratoga, Albany, New York, etc.). The Municipalities are seeking proposals for the provision of train service by an operator interested in providing freight service with or without excursion trains over the Municipal rail line with stops in the various Towns located along the line and within Warren and Saratoga Counties. The municipalities are seeking to contract with a qualified operator who can provide rolling stock and operate a train service beginning at the earliest possible time. Warren County may also consider offers to purchase its portion of the line.
