Hello,
I am new to this forum and absolutely new to researching the history of railroads. I'm not certain if this is the correct place to be posting my question, but I thought it might be a good start.
I am looking to find if there was an intact route between cities around the time of 1900-1915. I want to find what lines/connections served between:
Wellsville, NY
Bolivar, NY
Olean, NY
Bradford, PA
Warren, PA
Titusville, PA
Franklin, PA
Lima, OH
Muskogee, OK
Beaumont, TX
I've searched through various antique railroad maps and I've found some information connecting some of these cities, but I am very curious to confirm whether or not someone in Wellsville, NY could use the railroad (with any necessary connections) to get down to Beaumont, TX around the turn of the century (1900-1915 era).
If anyone has any information or suggestions for me I would sincerely appreciate it.
Thanks so much!
