extending from milepost 58.29, at Lockport, to milepost
16.60, at Brockport, in Niagara, Orleans, and Monroe
Counties, NY, a total of 41.69 route miles. In addition, FRRR will
acquire operating easements only between mileposts 16.60
and 16.92 (owned by, or to be conveyed by Conrail to,
Monroe County) and between mileposts 45.01 and
45.53 (owned by, or to be conveyed by Conrail to, the
adjoining landowner).
Operations were expected to commence on or after October 24, 1996.
