Buffalo and Rochester Railroad : ウィキペディア英語版 | Buffalo and Rochester Railroad
The Buffalo and Rochester Railroad, like many others of its day, was a short line that lasted a short time. ==The gist of the idea== Initially, the germ of the idea for this line came from the perceived need for a rail line to serve Steuben and Livingston Counties in New York. Farmers and merchants in the area proposed a route along the Cohocton and Genesee river valleys up to Avon. The route would thence go west to the Tonawanda Railroad at Batavia. This would have been an alternative to the Erie Railroad's plan to end its line at Dunkirk. The Erie declined, and the projected line became the Buffalo and Cohocton Valley Railroad.〔http://wnyrails.org/railroads/erie/bcv_home.htm〕 The side line from Avon to Batavia, however, became part of the Buffalo and Rochester Railroad.〔''A History of Railroads in Western New York'', Edward T Dunn, Canisius College Press, 2000, p.16〕
