Initially incorporated as the Saratoga & St. Lawrence RR. Began operations on December 27, 1888, from Moira to Bombay, New York. Reincorporated on March 31, 1898, as the Bombay & Moira Railroad. Abandoned in 1900, purchased by Grand Trunk Railway and torn up for scrap.[1] There has been zero development in the past century, so the railbed is still visible in its entirety.[2].
