Brendon Warren said: (quoted from post at 10:26:58 03/12/15) My dads farm was cut in two by a railroad track. He dug it out and used the fill for roads on the farm. We now have 80 acres in one piece. The railroad was then sold to a local cable company to run fiber optic line. The were sure surprised when they got to our place and the railroad was gone. The DEC police were called. I remember the conversation he had with dad. "Gordie, you can't do that." My dad simply replied " Well, I already did" We never heard another peep about it. The railroad trestle is still on our farm but the bridge is gone. It has some beautiful stonework. We spent countless hours fishing and playing there when we were kids. I'll have to get some pictures for you guys this spring.
Any idea exactly why DEC told Gordie he wasn't supposed to do that? You remember Gary Crowe over in Heuvelton? He bought Cecil Wells farms and removed all the ballast and not a word was said by any one. Lots of that done around Heuvelton. I can't imagine why DEC would get involved at all.
