At the June meeting of the Board of Director’s for the Chemung & Ridgeberry. The directors have decided to dissolve the railroad. They have directed the CMO to take up the track, grade the right of way and to sell off all assets. They have assured the employees that they will have jobs, as the company pursues other opportunities. This is a sad day for the railroad as the first of the rail is taken up, but the "Chemung Locomotive Works" lives on, in a new location in Big Flats, NY.
