The Rochester and Syracuse Railroad was incorporated on August 1, 1850, authorizing the consolidation of the Auburn and Rochester Railroad Company and the Auburn and Syracuse Railroad Company. The consolidation also involved the acquisition of all the rights and property of the Direct Railway, established in 1848, between Syracuse, New York and Rochester, New York, and the construction of that road as a part of the consolidated road.

Famous quotes containing the words rochester, syracuse and/or railroad:
“The clog of all pleasure, the luggage of life,
Is the best can be said for a very good wife.”
—John Wilmot, Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)
“The Dada object reflected an ironic posture before the consecrated forms of art. The surrealist object differs significantly in this respect. It stands for a mysterious relationship with the outer world established by man’s sensibility in a way that involves concrete forms in projecting the artist’s inner model.”
—J.H. Matthews. “Object Lessons,” The Imagery of Surrealism, Syracuse University Press (1977)
“... no other railroad station in the world manages so mysteriously to cloak with compassion the anguish of departure and the dubious ecstasies of return and arrival. Any waiting room in the world is filled with all this, and I have sat in many of them and accepted it, and I know from deliberate acquaintance that the whole human experience is more bearable at the Gare de Lyon in Paris than anywhere else.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
