Port of Oswego to spend 3.5 million on rail expansion
Oswego The Port Authority will expand with 3.5 million in rail work to increase import export capacity and create several local jobs. The project adds 2,800 feet of track linking the intermodal center with the port and adds storage for 68 rail cars for grain service. Officials say the upgrades will cut local transport costs for farmers and boost grain and aluminum handling. Zelko Kirincich, executive director, notes the expansion will double open lot storage and attract existing shippers.
