Greigsville and Pearl Creek Railroad
The Greigsville and Pearl Creek Railroad was a railroad in the U.S. state of New York. Despite its name, it only existed in the immediate vicinity of Greigsville, a small community in the town of York, and did not reach Pearl Creek, a hamlet in Covington.
==History==
The company was organized October 1, 1897 and chartered January 26, 1898,〔(Greigsville and Pearl Creek chartered )〕 to build from the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad's main line at North Greigsville (present-day Greigsville〔F. W. Beers & Co., (Livingston County ), 1872〕) west to the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Railway at Pearl Creek. Three miles (5 km) were constructed from the DL&W to the Greigsville Salt Mine, but the mine closed in June 1899, and operations were suspended.〔New York State Public Service Commission, (Third Annual Report of the Public Service Commission Second District for the Year Ended December 31, 1909: Volume II ), p. 147〕
The actual location of Greigsville Salt Mine is not clear. Mindat puts the mine on a residential street (Virginia Avenue),〔(Mindat's Greigsville Mine entry )〕 but the USGS Topographic map puts the mine at the end of an unnamed road to the northwest.〔(ACME Mapper )〕 The railroad would have extended past the mine by at least the length of one train, in order to be able to load the entire train from one point.
