Does anybody know anything about the Livonia & Lake Conesus Railroad? It was incorporated in 1895 and was still paying Corporation taxes to N.Y.State ten years later. According to a New York Times article, it was to run between Livonia and Lakeville with a length of six miles(!). Capitalization was to be $60,000. The Directors were all from the New York City area.
Bill Gordon mentions it in his book on the Rochester Division of the Erie and said that it ran between Erie Jct. and the mine at West Livonia - wherever those places were. He also said that they suspended operations when the mine shut down. Was this the trackage around the old salt mine south of Van Zandt Rd. in Livonia? Ted
