Railroads oppose a proposed constitutional amendment to transfer New York State barge canals to federal control. At a Syracuse Hotel meeting, critics warned that federal ownership could curb canal water use for irrigation recreation and municipal needs while proponents argued federal funding could fix aging infrastructure. The amendment appears on the November ballot as Amendment Six with rail and agricultural groups weighing the impact on state finances and regional industry.
