I picked up on this item in another forum. The Catskill Mountain Railroad operates tourist trains over a portion of the former New York Central's Catskill Mountain Branch. The railroad intends to move several pieces of equipment to Kingston for repair work; however, there is resistance within the city's government to allow the equipment to be brought in. Unfortunately, they have now gone as far as to park a city dump truck on the track blocking the planned movement. The official reason being given is environmental concerns due to old paint and other materials but the issue reportedly runs much deeper than that as rumors persist regarding the desire to convert the railroad into a rail trail.
