West Shore Subdivision
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The West Shore 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 Fairport, CP-359, west to North Chili[1], CP-382, along a former New York Central Railroad line. Both of its ends are at the Rochester Subdivision; it provides a southern bypass of Rochester. Genesee Junction is located on the West Shore, where CSX interchanges with both the Livonia, Avon and Lakeville Railroad and the Rochester Southern Railroad.
Dispatchers often make the statement: Down The Shore After 4 due to Amtrak being in the City of Rochester then.
[edit] History
The entire line opened in 1884 as part of the New York, West Shore and Buffalo Railway.[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.
