Passenger service between Olean and Rochester was discontinued in 1937. Believe gas-electric cars were used in the final years of this service. PRR trains 595, 596, 597 and 598 operated between Elmira and Canandaigua. These trains carried a sleeper car Washington, D.C.- Rochester which connected wit...
