Southern Division

This division operates 45 miles of track from Utica, through Holland Patent, Remsen, Boonville, and terminating in Lyons Falls.

The Adirondack Scenic Railroad has trackage rights over the line from Utica to Remsen.

The southern division also operates a seven-mile spur into the city of Rome off the CSX mainline. The spur is accessed with trackage rights for thirteen miles over the CSX track from the Utica interchange to the Rome spur junction. [2]

Northern Division

The northern division operates 15.6 miles of track from the CSX interchange in Carthage southeast to Lowville. This trackage is now out of service.

A 46-mile (74 km) spur northeast and east from Lowville to Newton Falls fell into disuse after the closure of a paper mill in Newton Falls, but it recently has been partially refurbished.
