Does anyone have any information on this paper railroad ?

Possibly an incorporation related to the proposed construction of the Utica Chenango & Susquehanna Valley from Richfield Springs to Oneonta.

Exactly what I was looking for !!!

Are there any available books about the Hudson Valley Railway ?
Thanks

Manlius, NY ?

The date on the 1985 photo is wrong. The scheme 3000 is wearing there was painted by Rome Locomotive in 1988.

If you are travelling down the NYS Thruway east of the Dunkirk - Fredonia exit - about MP 463 area, you can see the remains of the embankment where the railroad bridge went over the Thruway - ...

Hard to say about a 1920's DL&W NKP merger. The Transportation Act of 1920 required the ICC to look into consolidations of railroads. The report didn't come out until something like 1929 but when it did, both the NKP and DL&W fell under the C&O umbrella. In fact NKP would actually fall i...

Yes there was a study done dated May 30, 1975 by Santa Fe.

It is a bit subjective and confusing but basically it came pretty close. It is reported that it was NKP President John Davin that approached DL&W President William White sometime in the late 1940’s. NKP and DL&W were natural partners as DL&W needed a western extension and NKP needed an e...

I can't seem to find any relevant mapping. The trestle is documented in Nestle's book on the SNY and predecessors.

I suspect it crossed Fulmer Creek.
