Railroads in Syracuse, New York : ウィキペディア英語版 | Railroads in Syracuse, New York
Railroads in Syracuse, New York, were first mentioned in October 1831, when a convention held in the city marked one of the earliest moves to stimulate the era of railroad building which ultimately brought steam railroad service to New York State. At the time of the convention, the oldest railroad in Onondaga County had been in operation for two years.〔 Out of the convention came the impetus which gave birth to the roads which consolidated in 1853 to form the New York Central Railroad which was a conglomeration of several lines and by the late 1860s, the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, another important railroad conglomerate, was also making inroads in Central New York.〔 Railroads were big business in Syracuse and life in many ways revolved around them with the continuing ease of transportation and proliferation of jobs they brought to the local economy. The first street railway was built in Salina Street in 1859〔 and Syracuse was soon known "far and wide" as the city where the trains passed through the middle of downtown. Travelers caught "intimate glimpses" of the city, its people, stores and houses as the trains slowed on their way through town.〔 ==History== At the time of the first railroad convention in Syracuse, in October 1831, the oldest railroad in the State, the pioneer Mohawk and Hudson Railroad had not reached the age of three. This was followed by the incorporation of the Auburn and Syracuse Railroad. At that time, Auburn, New York, was a larger village than Syracuse therefore its name was mentioned first in the company title.〔
