Tonawanda Railroad : ウィキペディア英語版 | Tonawanda Railroad
The Tonawanda Railroad was Rochester's first such company to be organized, in an early 19th century flourishing of railroad companies, as entrepreneurs worked to develop better transportation and service to markets. As happened - both directly and indirectly - to a number of small rail companies, it was absorbed by the larger New York Central. ==Background== Like other growing towns and cities, Batavia needed access to affordable and reliable commercial transportation resources. The Erie Canal had appeared to be the solution but it did not reach Batavia. Instead, canal designers selected Eighteen Mile Creek as the area to scale the formidable Niagara Escarpment. The Tonawanda's two wood-burning locomotives were delivered to the area by canal boat five years after the company was chartered.
