Restored Rail Service Upsets Neighbors

>Parked Com But late last summer, utilizing money from the state transportation bond act, the freeholders approved a contract with the Morristown and Erie Railway to repair the two rail routes and restore freight service.

Domain Porfolios Last October, freeholder Nicholas Scutari sent a letter to residents that read, in part: "Here are the facts: The clearing of these lines is strictly for health and public safety reasons, not for reactivation.

Domain Optimizing "This was a clear setup to sneak this in ... hiding the issue until after the (primary) election," DeIorio said. "(We) requested meetings with the county manager and the freeholders and we were just brushed aside."
Domain Resellers Springfield Mayor Greg Clark said he was shocked by the freeholders' "lack of candor."
Namepros "We were told if you didn't want it, it would not come through," said Clark, who maintains that Springfield and surrounding towns would gain nothing from the freight service.
Domain Parking "They shut all of us out," said Kenilworth Mayor Michael Tripodi. "There was no one talking to us from the county since last fall."
Cheap Registras Now that the county is openly committed to restoring rail service, the towns are kicking in $10,000 each to hire legal counsel in Washington, D.C., to mount a possible court challenge to the rail project.
Name Com But it is a challenge that is not likely to succeed, said county manager George Devanney.
Godaddy Devanney said the county withheld making any comments on the matter since the fall because it was under review by county legal advisors. Their conclusion, he said, was that the county did not have the authority to block the revitalization of the freight lines.
Parked Com "We're trying to make the best of it for the county," Devanney said. While the county cannot pass any laws restricting rail operations, it is trying to reach a similar end through its contract negotiations with the Morristown and Erie, by getting the short-line freight company to agree to the length and frequency of the trains that would run on the route, he said.
Domain Porfolios "Having control over this line is better than having no say over what's transported over this line," Devanney said. "CSX and Norfolk-Southern had a strong interest in this line and their intention was not to service Union County. They wanted to use it as a through service to connect westward.
Domains For Sale "What the freeholders did was in the best interests of protecting county residents from heavy freight traffic traveling through these towns," he said.
Domain Optimizing Not so, Tripodi countered. If the freeholders were acting in the best interests of residents, he said, the board would not have signed any contract at all.
Domain Resellers "The entire matter was handled haphazardly from the beginning. One mistake led to another," he said.
Namepros In the end, however, there may not be sufficient funding to complete the entire rail project. While the Cranford to Linden link will be done, Devanney said the $7.5 million that the county received from the state "will not take us past Union."
Domain Parking "Springfield and Summit won't see any rehabilitation of the track. There's no money to do it, nor intent to seek any money," he said.
