✅ verified review | since the last published review it seems that the service has deteriorated even further . our flight from havana to santiago which was scheduled for 13 . 00 was cancelled at the last minute and we were told to come back in the morning ! after seven hours in the airport and some vociferous complaining we eventually got on the last flight out that night . our return trip three days later was scheduled for 8 . 25am but when i checked with the cubana office in santiago the day before i was told it had been delayed , by 12 hours . all the staff in the airports and on the planes were surly , uncommunicative and downright unhelpful . as with a lot of the state run services in cuba , the state employees have got jobs for life and just don ' t care . if i had thought to look at these reviews before booking the holiday , i would have stayed well clear of internal flights and i would recommend this course of action to anyone considering it .

the elmira and lake ontario railroad was a subsidiary of the northern central railway and later the pennsylvania railroad , formed to give the northern central an outlet for coal traffic on lake ontario .

elmira and lake ontario railroad

elmira and lake ontario railroad <EOT> click the button below to add the elmira and lake ontario railroad company circa 1886 ( new york ) to your wish list .

parent pennsylvania railroad acquired control of the connecting newark and marion railway on may 4 , 1930 , and merged it into the elmira & lake ontario a year later . on january 31 , 1956 , the elmira & lake ontario was merged into the northern central railway .

the local railroad of interest is ( was ? ) the bessemer and lake erie railroad .

may 2 , 1857 it became the elmira , canandaigua and niagara falls railroad company .

1913 the northern central railroad is incorporated into the pennsylvania railroad system , becoming the elmira branch of the pennsylvania railroad .

1879 it was consolidated with the geneva , hornellsville and pine creek railway company to form the lake ontario southern railway company .

1994 newly formed ontario pathways negotiates the purchase of the unsold railroad right of ways .

february 18 , 1859 sold at foreclosure it became the elmira , jefferson and canandaigua railroad company .

the four who were injured were on both trains and hailed from pennsylvania and elmira .

the rochester and lake ontario railroad was organized in 1852 and opened in fall 1853 ; it was leased to the rochester , lockport and niagara falls railroad , which became part of the new york central , before opening . in 1855 it was merged into the new york central , providing a branch from rochester north to charlotte on lake ontario .

as early as 1851 there were serious thoughts of building a railroad north from pennsylvania to sodus bay on lake ontario so that coal from the pennsylvania mines could be more easily shipped to great lakes markets . sodus bay is reported to be the largest protected harbor on the southern shore of lake ontario .

by 1893 , the new york , lake erie and western railroad went into bankruptcy reorganization again and emerged in 1895 as the erie railroad .

a short line from canandaigua to a pier on canandaigua lake was built by the canandaigua lake railroad company , incorporated july 21 , 1887 , which was merged into the elmira & lake ontario on december 27 , 1888 . the principal purpose of the railroad was to serve as an outlet for coal shipments from the mines tapped by the northern central , using the coal pier at sodus bay to ship to markets on the great lakes .

according to the times article , the three dead were all on the northbound train — the head brakeman from williamsport , the middle brakeman from elmira and the engineer , also from elmira .

it was built as the syracuse , ontario & new york railway and was completed in 1891 .

the lehigh valley had several other branches in new york state : from the mail line to rochester ; the former southern central railroad from sayre to lake ontario ; a buffalo bypass ; and the elmira , cortland & northern . opened from cortland to ithaca in 1872 as the utica , ithaca & elmira , this old road was once 139 miles ( including the leased canastota northern to camden )

the delaware & northern was a bridge line to the ontario & western at east branch .

the erie still did not see profits and via bankruptcy was sold in 1878 to become the new york , lake erie and western railroad .

vanderbilt ' s other lines were operated as part of the new york central railroad ; these included the new york and harlem railroad , lake shore and michigan southern railway , canada southern railway and michigan central railroad .

the southern central railroad company was incorporated in september , 1865 , as the lake ontario , auburn and new york railroad , but subsequently its present corporate title was substituted . the company was authorized to construct a road from fair haven , on lake ontario , to athens , on the pennsylvania state line . 25 miles of the road were opened in 1869 ; 43 in 1870 ; 27 in 1871 ; and the remaining 22 miles in the winter of 1871 - 72 .

during the late 1800’s and into the early 1900’s , the lehigh valley built and acquired numerous feeder lines in upstate new york . these included a line north from ithaca following the east side of cayuga lake to auburn via cayuga and a bypass around buffalo for traffic to and from canada via niagara falls . lines also arose from geneva to cayuga , joining the new york central railroad “auburn road” branch just east of seneca falls to cross cayuga lake ; from geneva to naples ; from rochester to hemlock lake ; and from elmira to oneida lake via east ithaca , cortland , and canastota .

the erie began operating the chemung railroad in 1850 ; this provided a branch from horseheads north to watkins . the canandaigua and elmira railroad opened in 1851 as a northern extension from watkins to canandaigua and was operated by the erie until 1853 . at this point , the erie subleased the chemung railroad to the canandaigua and elmira . the c & e went bankrupt in 1857 and was reorganized in 1859 as the elmira , canandaigua and niagara falls railroad , at which time the erie leased it again . the chemung railroad reverted to the erie in 1858 during the bankruptcy .

during 1905 , competition developed to build a railroad to williamson and pultneyville on lake ontario , as the ontario and wayne traction company , which had been chartered in 1901 as well as the newark & marion . they now sold more stock to build from canandaigua via palmyra to pultneyville . this line was the newark & marion ' s line to williamson , which died from lack of funding .

the elmira , cortland & northern ( later part of the lehigh valley ) had extended from canastota to camden in 1887 .

the canandaigua and niagara falls railroad continued this line beyond canandaigua to north tonawanda with trackage rights over the buffalo and niagara falls railroad to niagara falls and the niagara falls suspension bridge into ontario . this was leased by the canandaigua and elmira from its opening in 1853 to 1858 , when it went bankrupt , was reorganized as the niagara bridge and canandaigua railroad , and was leased by new york central railroad . the nyc converted it to standard gauge and blocked the erie from it .

the new york , lake erie and western railroad company was incorporated as the new york and erie railroad company , april , 21 , 1832 . in 1861 it was reorganized as the erie railway company , which organization was continued until 1878 , when it was again reorganized , this time as the new york , lake erie and western .

september 15 , 1851 the rail line was completed into canandaigua . this is the canandaigua leg of present day ontario pathways .

the erie still did not see profits and via bankruptcy was sold in 1875 to become the new york , lake erie and western railway .

and western railroad to form the erie lackawanna railroad , becoming part of conrail in 1976 .

the two “legs” of ontario pathways , the canandaigua leg and the phelps leg , are both rail corridors dating back to the mid 1800’s .

new york ontario & western ‘s ellenville & kingston railroad began in 1871 with an eight - mile section between summitville and ellenville , followed by the extension from ellenville to kingston in 1901 .

that portion of the northern central railway lying within this state is a consolidation of three roads , viz . : the chemung railroad , leading from elmira to watkins ; the canandaigua and corning railroad , leading from canandaigua to watkins ; and the williamsport and elmira road . the chemung road was incorporated in may , 1845 , and opened in 1849 , having been leased while in course of construction to the new york and erie .

the erie railroad merged with the delaware , lackawanna and western railroad in 1960 . the new company became known as the erie lackawanna railroad .

the williamsport and elmira railroad was organized under the laws of pennsylvania in 1852 . the contractors for building the road were john s . king , of geneva , and i . j . stancliff and a . s . diven , of elmira , under the firm - name of king , stancliff & co . major wm . h . arnold was chief engineer .

orleans — fifty years ago next month , two trains collided head on in this ontario county hamlet , killing three train crew members and injuring four .

this company , as at present constituted , is a consolidation of the ithaca and cortland , and utica , horseheads and elmira railroad companies , the former of which was organized july 31 , 1869 , and the latter april 2 , 1870 .

in 1988 , the bessemer & lake erie railroad became part of transtar , inc . transtar was a privately - held transportation holding company with principal operations in railroad freight transportation , dock operations , great lakes shipping , and inland river barging that were formerly subsidiaries of usx , the holding company that owns u . s . steel . in 2001 , the bessemer & lake erie railroad became part of great lakes transportation , llc . on may 10 , 2004 , canadian national railway acquired the bessemer and lake erie railroad . iron ore and coal are still the route ' s major freight commodities .

in 1893 that railroad also went into bankruptcy reorganization , to emerge as the erie railroad .

this road enters new york state in the town of southport , and traverses the towns of southport , elmira , horseheads , and catlin , in chemung county , and montour , dix and reading , in schuyler county .

making this railroad a reality , however , was not going to be easy . other interests were competing to keep this pennsylvania and sodus bay railroad from operating . in geneva , a steamboat company and coal interests were trying to defeat the building of railroads throughout the counties . another railroad was planned to run through phelps in ontario county . in 1873 , a new geneva and ithaca railroad began operation .

the first railroad train in america - the mohawk and hudson - opened in 1831 - seventeen miles in length - miles of road in operation in new york in 1845 - location - miles of road in operation in new york in 1878 - cost of construction and equipment - the second railway in this state - the cayuga and susquehanna - the new york , lake erie and western - the northern central - the chemung - canandaigua and corning - the southern central - the lehigh valley - the ithaca and towanda - the geneva and ithaca - the cayuga lake - the utica , ithaca and elmira - the syracuse , geneva and corning - the new york and oswego midland - the tioga and state line - the chemung canal .

like the reading railroad , the prr served atlantic city , new jersey ; one of the four railroad squares in the board game monopoly is called pennsylvania railroad .

2 . baltimore and ohio 254645 was accepted from the shipper by the aliquippa and southern and in turn accepted in interchange by the pittsburgh and lake erie and the new york central without adequate inspection to determine that the lading was properly secured for movement .

cornelius vanderbilt obtained control of the hudson river railroad in 1864 , soon after he bought the parallel new york and harlem railroad .

jay gould and william vanderbilt together oversaw all east - west rail traffic in the mid - west . the owners ( the seney syndicate ) of a 350 - mile ( 560 km ) railroad , the lake erie and western railroad , were interested in tapping new sources of revenue . the stage was set for the creation of the new york , chicago and st . louis railroad .

on 13 april 1881 the new york , chicago and st . louis railway company bought the buffalo , cleveland and chicago railway , a railroad that been surveyed from the west side of cleveland , ohio to buffalo , new york running parallel to vanderbilt ' s lake shore and michigan southern railway .

. it bypassed rochester , had no manufacturing industries and was too close to the new york central . the lake ontario shore wasn’t able to make the grade and was sold to the rw & o in 1875 at a court sale for a bargain basement price . by building a short connection at oswego , the rw & o now had a through route from suspension bridge to norwood where connections were available to the atlantic ocean .

melious said he drove up on county road 20 and met deputies and railroad officials near the jensen farm .

the economic recession of the late 1970’s meant railroad layoffs , closures , and downsizing .

on december 7 , 1850 the tonawanda railroad and attica and buffalo railroad merged to form the buffalo and rochester railroad . a new direct line opened from buffalo east to batavia on april 26 , 1852 , and the old line between depew ( east of buffalo ) and attica was sold to the buffalo and new york city railroad on november 1 . the line was added to the new york and erie railroad system and converted to the erie ' s 6 foot ( 1829 mm ) wide gauge .

in 1845 a charter was granted to the canandaigua and corning railroad company to build a railroad line from jefferson ( later know as watkins glen ) to canandaigua .

soon the buffalo and state line railroad and erie and north east railroad converted to standard gauge from 6 foot ( 1829 mm ) broad gauge and connected directly with the nyc in buffalo , providing a through route to erie , pennsylvania .

there was a junction of the ny central ottawa div with the ogdensburg & lake champlain at moira . both roads shared the depot but had separate yards . in the early 1960s , while going to school in the north country , i remember one of the popular restaurants was called the crossroads in moira . i also remember there wasn’t really much in the town to indicate that it had been quite a rail center . the ogdensburg and lake champlain railroad ran to rouses point and vermont . by 1901 it was the rutland rr .

( dl & w ) . the first result of this was the abandonment of duplicate freight facilities in binghamton and elmira , new york . between 1956 and 1957 , the erie shifted its passenger trains from its former jersey city terminal to the dl & w ' s newer one in hoboken . also , the dl & w ' s main line between binghamton and elmira was abandoned in favor of the erie ' s parallel main line in 1958 . these successful business consolidations led to merger talks ( which , at first , also included the

south of franklin , connections were made to the pennsylvania railroad and a number of regional lines .

the pennsylvania and sodus bay railroad never became operational and its route does not appear on seneca county maps prepared after 1874 .

the syracuse , binghamton & new york railroad company was built between 1851 and 1854 and purchased by the lackawanna in 1869 .

the new york central railroad , known simply as the new york central in its publicity , was a railroad operating in the north - eastern united states . headquartered in new york , the railroad served a large proportion of the area , including extensive trackage in the states of new york , pennsylvania , ohio , michigan , massachusetts and much of new england and in the canadian provinces of ontario and québec . its primary connections included chicago and boston . the nyc ' s grand central terminal in new york city is one of its best known extant landmarks .

my grandfather was a railroad machinist ; my uncle a brakeman and conductor for many years . other family members worked on the railroad in one capacity or another from time to time .

that portion of the lehigh valley railroad lying within the bounds of this state embraces what are known as the ithaca and towanda , and geneva and ithaca roads .

the cayuga and susquehanna railroad company was the second railroad chartered in this state . it was incorporated jan . 28 , 1828 , with a capital stock of $ 150 . 000 , and authorized to construct a road from ithaca and owego .

the first railroad company incorporated in the state of new york was chartered april 17 , 1826 , under the name of the mohawk and hudson railroad company , and under its charter the first link in what is now known as the new york central and hudson river railroad was constructed , seventeen miles from albany to schenectady .
