As you may recall, the Notice of Intent to Establish a Quiet Zone (NOI) was sent out on August 15, 2014 to the parties that are required to receive it. They were given 60 days to respond. A few days later CSX responded with no comments and gave the name of a person to whom the consultant working for the Village should contact. Several efforts over the next several weeks to get a response from the CSX contact were unsuccessful but last week CSX finally responded, with a promise to get the paperwork moving that will enable the engineering design to begin.
Whether the delay on the part of CSX in responding was because of its desire to wait for any comments to the NOI from the Federal Railroad Administration or the NYS Department of Transportation (there weren’t), or simply other priorities is unknown. In any case it appears things are moving again.
