Under the existing lease, set to end in 2026, NS pays the city approximately US$25 million each year. In this agreement, NS will acquire 9,500 acres of land on which the railway is situated. There are no planned operational alterations following the acquisition. Currently, the route accommodates approximately 30 trains daily.
