While the CMRR continues to propose ambitious new projects to extend their tourist trains up to Basin Road, an April 16th story in the Times Union explains that nearly a year after the grant award for their planned expansion was announced it remains suspended.
The reason? Despite being aware that the grant requires County approval (since the U&D corridor is owned by Ulster County), and despite repeated warnings from the County that it could not agree to NYSDOT’s required maintenance obligations, CMRR went ahead and applied anyway, without the required approval.
