The Bombay and Moira Railroad is a historic railroad in New York.
The Saratoga and St. Lawrence Railroad began operations on December 27, 1888 on a line running from Moira to Bombay. The S&SL was reincorporated on March 31, 1898 as the Bombay and Moira Railroad.
The B&M was abandoned in 1900 after being purchased by the Grand Trunk Railway and torn up for scrap.[1]
The right-of-way is still visible due to lack of property development and encroaching vegetation.[2].
