Credit goes to the Selkirk Branch group on Yahoo for the following information.
Some new looks and changes are coming to the Selkirk Branch. At CP-VO a new interlocking will begin roughly 700 feet west of Main Street. It will only consist of a pair of crossovers. Updating to the crossings at the current VO will also occur. New Safetran signals will be installed from Game Farm Rd to the bridges at the Watervliet Reservoir.

CSXT has asked the NYSDOT to replace Ben's Bridge because CSXT wants to expand Selkirk Yard. CSXT wants to expand the receiving yard so they will not have trains sitting on the mainlines, clogging the Selkirk Branch for other trains to get out or bypass. Also, CSXT is putting in four new Selkirk Runners to expedite intermodals through Selkirk from Boston and River Lines.

If you go take a ride to Selkirk, notice they put up a new MOW base right where the former CR softball field is.
CSXT is going to demolish the old white MOW building and truck parking to make way for the new Selkirk Runners.
I think they are expanding the receiving tracks by 8 or 10 more tracks.
The 2 tracks that are the old runners (next to the dispatcher building) will be converted to arrival yard tracks.

Apparently the following notice is flawed: the meeting is actually on WEDNESDAY, May 30, 2007, which was reportedly verified.
