The Rochester Chap - NRHS is seeking photos,maps,advertisements,news
accounts,etc on the Erie-Rochester branch. It has been 150 years since the line
past our depot was opened for business. Our depot will soon be 100
years old and we are going to revise,reorganize and update the previous work
of passed member Bill Gordon.
For the better part of his life Bill was a motorman on various electric lines
and became a walking encyclopedia of dates and facts. While Bill was not an organized
writer he did record a great deal of information on those lines and others.

One error in Mr. Gordon's book is on page 3 where he states that the line from Livonia to Wayland was abandoned in 1951. Actually, it was 1956.
