This may be a very short thread, but wondering if anyone has heard of any movement on resurrecting the OnTrack or some variant of it? I remember in the late 90s when I was at SU, it was a really nice option to have for those looking to shuttle between SU, Armory, and the Mall. It seems like something that was never fully realized to its potential and possible use for purposes such as park and ride options.
I remember this article (Seeing an old Syracuse rail service in a new way: Is there renewed hope for the Ontrack corridor?) which was spurred by a passion project by a student who made OnTrack and a proposed revival his senior thesis. I can't find the report now but here is his Tedx ().
Has anyone heard a peep about this service in conjunction with the I-81 project? It would seem to make a ton of sense on some levels, although I know some of the obstacles that brought down the service initially would still need to be overcome.
