I'm not finding much on where this road was planned. It's directors were from Rochester and Rush, in Monroe County. It was organized in 7/28/1881. Was this a precursor to the LV line out of Rochester? As far as I can tell, it was not built, at least until a later incarnation. Thanks.

The biography of Alexander Martin Holden states that he is (was)
a director of the Rochester Southern RR a sub of the Lehigh Valley.

He was listed as a resident of Honeoye Falls and a director of other
institutions.
