Lockport Subdivision

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lockport Subdivision is a railroad line owned by New York Central Lines LLC and operated by CSX Transportation in the U.S. state of New York. The line runs from Lockport west to a junction with the Niagara Subdivision east of Niagara Falls[1] along a former New York Central Railroad line. At its east end, it interchanges with the Falls Road Railroad and Somerset Railroad.

[edit] History

The line opened in 1838 as part of the Lockport and Niagara Falls Railroad.[citation needed] It became part of the New York Central and Conrail through leases, mergers, and takeovers, and was assigned to CSX in the 1999 breakup of Conrail.
