Buffalo and Rochester Railroad
- Buffalo and Rochester Railroad
The Buffalo and Rochester Railroad was formed on December 7, 1850 by the merger of the Tonawanda Railroad and the Attica and Buffalo Railroad.
The primary accomplishment of the railroad was the construction of a new route between Buffalo and Batavia. The original route between Buffalo and Rochester went from Rochester to Batavia to Attica and then to Buffalo. In April 1852, the railroad opened a new line from Buffalo to Batavia. This shortened the distance between the two cities and became part of the New York Central Railroad's famed "Water Level Route". The Buffalo and Rochester sold its line between Attica and Depew (east of Buffalo) to the Buffalo and New York City Railroad, part of the New York and Erie Railroad system. The new owners converted the line to their six-foot gauge.
The railroad was one of ten that merged on May 17, 1853 to form the New York Central Railroad.
