The trolly line from Rochester to Syracuse ran into Port ByronThis trolley line is on the old topo maps:

Not much doubt about its route; at least on that one topo map. I'm speculating that the modern route of 31 between Clyde and Lyons is the old trolley bed. I base this on no historical information but instead on my experience tracing railroads on maps. If you think I'm whack, please say so. Try looking at this: http://rutlandtrail.org/gmap.cgi?lyons- ... y.ny.track
I can't find the route of the trolley west of Lyons. Maybe it ran alongside roads to Rochester?
