Within thirty minutes of Montgomery County, the Thruway intersects Interstate 88 and Interstate 87, the Adirondack Northway, to provide links to Canada, New York City and points South. Montgomery County is served by approximately 120 miles of well constructed and maintained rail. Both Amtrak and CSX run predominately in an east-west direction following the natural run of the Mohawk River. Amtrak services the areas with five passenger trains passing through the County daily. CSX, running twenty-four hours a day, uses the lines frequently with approximately 40 freight trains passing through Montgomery County each day.
Rail is currently available at several sites with proposed plans to expand to additional locations.
There are four locks operating in full working order within the County. Current New York plans to rejuvenate the Erie Barge Canal System makes the NYS Barge Canal an even greater asset.
