• Rail sale back in limbo after Luzerne County Council vetoes R.J. Corman deal (timesleader.com) — An Edwardsville resident joined many Luzerne County voices urging council to reject a rail sale that didn't prioritize Reading and Northern's promised passenger excursions and tourism benefits. Council unanimously vetoed the R.J. Corman deal, throwing the future of the county-owned rail line, potential Wilkes-Barre excursion trains, and related local economic opportunities back into uncertainty before an October deadline.
