COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. — New York, Susquehanna & Western Railway has named James Bonner as its next president.
Bonner, who has been president of Anacostia Rail Holdings’ New York & Atlantic Railway for eight years, will join the Susie Q on June 19, the NYS&W announced yesterday.
“James is a growth-oriented leader with a collaborative and results-driven leadership style that has been transformative to the overall operations of the NY&A,” NYS&W President Nathan Fenno said in an email to customers. “His experience on Long Island is directly relatable to NYS&W’s operations in Northern New Jersey and Update New York on many levels, including customer types and commodities, work force, political environment and Class I interchange relationships.”
Bonner’s 26 years of rail experience include roles in operations, sales and marketing, and management.
The Susie-Q operates more than 400 miles of track in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
What an awesome picture: “Lights are flashing, gates are down”!
Maybe Susquehanna will reactivate the spur into the Jamesville quarry to supply the millions of tons of stone for the Micron chip fab being built in Clay, NY. The county is building a spur for construction materials off the CSX Hojack for the $20B tax giveaway to Micron. Erie Lackawanna used to have entire trains of limestone from the quarry to Solvay for soda ash production.
Plenty of taxpayers money to draw from. Like the RDC Walter Rich bamboozled the state to subsidize in the 90s. Even built 3 stations for “commuters” to travel from Syracuse University to a mega-mall.
