CHAPTER XI.
RAILROADS IN ORLEANS COUNTY
Medina And Darien -- Medina and Lake Ontario -- Rochester, Lockport, and Niagara Roads.
May 5, 1834, an Act of the Legislature was passed incorporating the Medina and Darien Railroad company, to construct a Railroad; and the road was built from Medina to Akron, in Erie County, twelve or fourteen miles, and fitted for cars, to be drawn by horses. It went into operation about 1836. After a short trail, it was found to be an unprofitable investment, the track was taken up, and the road discontinued.
This was the first Railroad incorporated to be made in this county.
