$2.16 million in track upgrades planned for Finger Lakes Railway

Railroads are taxpayers too. They don’t get near the subsidies that other forms if transportation receive. I’ll bet trucks, barges or even freight airlines get more taxpayer money than railroads.

Why should the taxpayers foot any of these improvements, let alone 90%? Shouldn’t the railroad have been performing ongoing maintenance on their trackge over the years? They have 89 shippers - charge them for the upgrades.

Maybe trucks should have there own roads and maintain them like the railroads do then there would be an even playing field
