In multiple court filings made since first dropping its federal suit in early October, Norfolk Southern has asked for a declaratory judgment stating that federal jurisdiction over the railroad industry preempts Voorheesville’s zoning law.

On Nov. 12, some three dozen residents packed the village fire department’s firehouse on Altamont Road for a public meeting on the fate of the home of Voorheesville’s first mayor. 

Sheriff Apple wrote, “A vehicle attempted to execute a U-turn at an intersection and narrowly averted a fatality as the driver exited the vehicle in a timely manner.”
