Port Subdivision
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Port 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 Selkirk north to Albany[1] along a former New York Central Railroad line. At its south end, the Port Subdivision junctions with the Castleton Subdivision and River Subdivision; its north end is at the Port of Albany, served by the Albany Port Railroad.
[edit] History
The line was opened by the New York, West Shore and Buffalo Railway in the 1880s.[citation needed] Through mergers, leases, and takeovers, it became part of the New York Central Railroad and Conrail. When Conrail was broken up in 1999, the Port Subdivision was assigned to CSX.
