NYOG Railway

The New York & Ogdensburg Railway (NYOG) is a shortline railroad that runs between the Port of Ogdensburg, New York and the CSX junction in Norwood, New York. The railroad is approximately 26 miles in length.

The NYOG is operated by Vermont Rail System in Burlington, Vermont. The railroad carries a variety of bulk and non-bulk cargoes, including plastic pellets, resins, oils, lubricants, fuels, adhesives, chemicals, feed, grain, fertilizers, minerals, etc.

Many of the products that are delivered on the NYOG are trans-loaded to trucks for shipment to plants in southeastern Ontario and western Quebec. Grain and animal feed products come from Florida, New York, Canada and other origins to serve the large agricultural community in northern New York.

Past NYOG Railroad Project

Vermont Rail Systems and New York & Ogdensburg Railroad took part in a historic, first ever move of 55-meter (180.5-foot) wind turbine blades for Vestas Blades America, Inc. The blades, manufactured in Brighton, Colorado, moved via Union Pacific Railroad from Brighton to East St. Louis, IL for delivery to CSXT, who forwarded it to the NYOG in Norwood, NY. NYOG’s biggest move since inception, the blades were moved from Norwood to Ogdensburg, NY for offloading and staged for eventual truck shipment to the Chateaugay, NY area for installation. The blades were part of wind turbines designed for offshore use but were placed on land at the Marble River Wind Farm. The NYOG SW900 14 moved a cut of blades on the OBPA track on the NYOG Ogdensburg Branch to set them up for unloading. The Ogdensburg Bridge is visible in the distance, as is the Canada Steamship Lines vessel CSL Niagara. Date was May 12, 2012.
