Article from the Genesee Valley Conservancy highlights a donation of land -
“a narrow strip of the Greenway trail in Caneadea that was privately owned by two landowners.
This summer, NYS Parks acquired the larger parcel as part of a future effort to create new trails.
This parcel secures ownership of a gap in the Greenway trail and provides a buffer to a new 17-mile long former railway cooridor the State acquired over the summer.
The State’s recent acquisition secured the remainder of the ownership gap in the Greenway and provides the opportunity for Genesee River access and added loop trails extending from the Greenway.
Their acquisition is dotted with a dozen large cement trestles which make access to the Genesee River a challenge on that parcel alone.”
The Greenway Trail parallel to the river was NYC?
But what was the rail history of the Gulf Cutoff trestle?
