| Album Info: | Trackage is former Erie Lackawanna, ex-Erie mainline. In 1990 SPEG gave notice of intent to terminate service on this line. IHRC took over operations of this line in 1991. IHRC ceased service on the line in November 1993. Pursuant to a sub-operating agreement dated March 26, 1996, and an addendum dated April 3, 1996, between RJCW (sub-operator) and SPEG (operator), RJCW will assume operations over the line for a two-year period from May 20, 1996, to May 20, 1998, subject to renewal upon agreement by the parties. While no longer conducting operations as a rail carrier, SPEG remains in existence as a wholly owned subsidiary of an on-line shipper, Countrymark Cooperative, Inc. Under an existing contract between SPEG and the Authorities, SPEG is responsible for administering the line and arranging for an operator to provide rail service thereon. |
