Re: (erielack) Southern Tier lease



I find it interesting the the Company location mentioned in the STB 
document is only a stones throw from the Fonda, Johnstown and 
Gloversville Railroad, another D&O subsidiary. The railroad has been 
gone for years. Anyway, just for kicks, here's a page that cover the CNY 
quite well.
