US Senator Charles E. Schumer is urging the federal government to prioritize the modernization of the aging rail infrastructure connecting Syracuse and Cortland. The call comes as a response to an influx of new manufacturers coming to Central New York, resulting in an increased demand to transport goods and raw materials. Schumer highlighted the need for the Federal Rail Administration to include the Cortland-Syracuse Freight Rail Corridor in its next round of grants under the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) program.
