Potsdam, NY, Oct 08, 2010 — A North Country paper mill recently spent nearly a quarter of a million dollars to lay tracks connecting its Potsdam plant to the nationwide network of railroad lines.

The Potsdam Specialty Paper Company can now bring in supplies, and ship to buyers, at a fraction of the cost it spent just a month ago.

Ron Charrette is the plant manager. He tells Jonathan Brown the new rail spur will make it easier to reach buyers on the west coast.
