I was enroute from the south and was to the west of the Washington DC airspace when I was given a new route which was direct ZZZZZ; then direct ZZZZZ1; then T291 to ALB; then V489 to GFL. I was advised that my read back was correct. I was in IMC and slowly entered the new route into the navigator. As I was trying to enter V489 from ALB to GFL it became apparent that that segment of V489 no longer existed as the VOR was decommissioned several years ago and I discovered later that the ALB - GFL segment was removed last fall. I did not make an issue of it because I knew I would be asking for and getting vectors to final for the ILS 01 at GFL long before arriving at the ALB VOR. My question is whether the folks that give these routes are using outdated charts or have preferred routes that should have been updated. In any case; the routers need to be made aware of the changes to the Victor airways that used GFL in them as they all have been modified.
Pilot reported receiving a route revision in which it contained an airway and VOR that no longer exist.
