The city of Norwich and town of Oxford, NY both along NYS&W's ex-DL&W Utica-Binghamton branch, have made commendable efforts to commemorate their railroad heritage. Although most of the Utica branch has been out-of-service since 2006's flood (another flood in 2011 caused further damage), the tracks are slated to be restored to service in 2015 using nearly $6 million garnered over the past several years (almost all government funds) by the Chenango County Industrial Development Agency. Norwich uses the handsome DL&W passenger station as city office space while Oxford has converted the former Oxford passenger station into the town historical society. I recently visited both communities and thought these pictures would be of interest. 1) Norwich passenger station; 2) Gateman's Tower, Norwich; 3) Interpretive Sign for the Gateman's Tower, Norwich.

4) Plaque on Gateman's Tower, Norwich. 5) Norwich was the approximate half-way point on the Utica line as this well-maintained sign attests (passenger service ended on the Utica line April 1950). 6) Old mailbox attached to Norwich station.
