NEW YORK STATE -- The CSX Railroad will spend $45 million to improve its system. Officials from the Florida-based company met with Senator Charles Schumer last week to discuss the plans.

Thirty-million dollars will be spent replacing old tracks. A bump in the tracks may have been the cause of a derailment last year in the City of Oneida. Twenty-eight cars jumped the track and two of the cars carried liquid petroleum gas which caught fire after the accident.

CSX owns more than 2,200 miles of track in New York.
