Press Release - Scrapping RailExplorers track
The 2016 Plan includes a preferred alternative to divide the Corridor into rail and trail segments. The rails will be retained within the Corridor from Remsen to Tupper Lake (Segment 1) and the rails will be removed within the Corridor from Tupper Lake to Lake Placid (Segment 2). The entire length of the Corridor will remain in State ownership (Department of Transportation) and will remain classified under the APSLMP as a Travel Corridor.
Looks like RailExplorers is getting the rails ripped up from under themselves... no wonder they are pitching themselves to Santa Cruz...
Score another one for snowmobiles...
