BINGHAMTON - Freight traffic on railroads across the northeast is stopped dead because widespread flooding has either blocked and undermined tracks and bridges from along rail corridors from Binghamton to Philadelphia and from Binghamton to New Jersey.
"This has affected all rail lines across the Northeast," said Thomas V. O’Neill, spokesman for the New York Susquehanna & Western Railway. "This causes ripples up into Canada and into Chicago."
Representatives of the NYS&W and Canadian Pacific, which runs lines between Binghamton and Philadelphia, said there damage throughout the line, but they have been unable to assess the damage because the flood waters have yet to recede.
