Finger Lakes Railway Corp. is a privately owned Class III common carrier serving a six-county region around Central New York's Finger Lakes. Acquired from Conrail in 1995, its three line segments and associated operating rights comprise a 140-mile system affording access to the national railroad network for more than two-dozen customers. FGLK's diversified traffic mix includes paper and paperboard, refined salt, processed foods, industrial sand, fabricated steel, scrap metal, crushed stone, chemicals, fuel, grain, flour, fertilizer, lumber and defense materiel. Consisting of the Geneva Cluster of lines when operated by Conrail, the Finger Lakes Railway serves the cities of Canandaigua, Shortsville, Waterloo, Geneva, Watkins Glen, Penn Yan, Auburn, Seneca Falls, and other points on the former Conrail Auburn Line.

Since the FGLK started operations in July 1995 over 140 miles of former Conrail lines, the average monthly interchange has grown to 280 carloads - an increase of 63 percent and a total of 3,356 carloads a year. Carloads are running almost 10 percent ahead of the 1997 pace for the first two months of 1998. In addition, traffic has risen to 7,818 carloads in 1997, a 40 percent increase from 1994.

The FGLK interchanges with Conrail in Geneva, and the Ontario Central (recently purchased by the Livonia, Avon and Lakeville) in Shortsville. When the Conrail breakup is consummated in March, 1999 - the FGLK will interchange with Norfolk Southern in Geneva and CSX in either Lyons or Solvay. Also, there are plans to give NS trackage rights into Auburn for coal traffic.
