Farmrail’s joint-venture affiliate in New York, Finger Lakes Railway Corp. (FGLK), operates a 118-mile cluster of lines purchased in 1995 and 36 miles of associated operating rights.  Radiating from headquarters at Geneva, they provide connections with the national railway network via CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern.  FGLK handles a highly diversified list of commodities for more than 45 customers, including paper and pulpboard, industrial minerals, canned goods, steel products, consumer salt and plastics.   FGLK's traffic base has grown nearly three-fold since inception, the result of aggressive marketing and improved physical condition.  Two-carrier access makes the Finger Lakes region attractive for rail-dependent manufacturing and distribution.
