History
Syracuse Junction Railroad was established on June 9, 1873, by the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company. The line opened for business on November 16, 1874. It was leased back to the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company on April 10, 1875, as a legal formality and changed to New York Central Railroad in 1914.[2]
By 1950, the line was still in use and routed through the Carrier Corporation plant in Syracuse where air conditioners were loaded and shipped.[2]
