Auburn and Rochester Railroad - Demise

Demise

On 1 August 1850, the Auburn and Rochester Railroad merged with the Auburn and Syracuse Railroad to form the Rochester and Syracuse Railroad. In turn, this merged with the Direct Railway between Syracuse and Rochester five days later and was consolidated into the New York Central Railroad in 1853. In 1992, a Cobblestone Railroad Pumphouse constructed about 1845 and located at the hamlet of Fishers in Ontario County, New York was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
