Pat McGee Trail : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pat McGee Trail The Pat McGee Trail is a rail trail in Cattaraugus County, New York, United States, named for Patricia McGee (1934-2005). ==Background== Pat McGee was an area legislator of Cattaraugus County who lived in Franklinville, New York, 〔(Western New York outdoors: Pat McGee Trail ), ''Classicbuffalo.com'', Buffalo, NY: Classicbuffalo.com, Retrieved 13 November 2013〕 and the trail was named in her memory. McGee served as a member of the New York State Assembly and as a New York State Senator for many years. The trail path lies entirely on a railbed that was used by the New York and Lake Erie Railroad from 1978 to 1990 and, before that, by the Erie Railroad and the Erie Lackawanna Railroad. The existence of the railroad was the primary impetus for the relocation of the county seat of Cattaraugus County to Little Valley. The closure of the Cattaraugus Cutlery Company in 1963 and a factory most recently used by King Windows in the 1980s rendered the railroad of little use to Little Valley, and in 1990 the New York and Lake Erie truncated the rail service to its current end at Setterstix in Cattaraugus. The Cattaraugus Local Development Corporation acquired the railbed several years after the railroad's closure and removed the rails and ties. Under the preliminary name "Southern Tier Area Rails to Trails" (START), the trail opened for public use in the early 2000s.
