Power line clarification

Last week we accurately reported that a Norfolk-Southern Railroad (N-S) spokesman said no right-of-way agreement exists for a 500 kV DC power line proposed by the Toronto, Canada firm, Pegasus Power Systems.

On October 13, N-S spokesman Rudy Husband said that an internal communications problem at N-S had produced incomplete information last week.

While he reiterated that no agreement exists with the N-S, a subsidiary of N-S, Thoroughbred Technologies and Telecommunications has been working with Pegasus on right-of-way leasing and is “close to completing an agreement,” Husband said.
