Description

In 1881, a narrow-gauge railroad used to be built in southwestern New York, from Attica to Arcade. It used to be later rebuilt to straightforward gauge to connect to what changed into the Pennsylvania Railroad. Concerned that the road would be abandoned, local farmers, merchants, and others raised money to buy the railroad and formed the Arcade and Attica Railroad. Through vintage photographs, Arcade and Attica Railroad highlights the history of a railroad that, faced with declining revenues, launched steam-powered passenger service in 1962. With a dedicated management team that has taken the effort and time to stand stumbling blocks, the pride of loyal employees, and a supportive community, the railroad has endured various herculean challenges to continue passenger and freight service in Wyoming County, New York.
