Auburn and Northern Railroad

Chartered in 1904 by the Beebe Syndicate, the Auburn and Northern Railroad connected the city of Auburn, New York, with the Rochester, Syracuse and Eastern Railroad at Port Byron, New York. The railroad began operation in 1908.^[1] In 1913, it was consolidated with the RS&E and the Syracuse, Lake Shore and Northern Railroad to form Empire United Railways.

A short-lived union, the new company encountered financial trouble in 1916 and the RS&E was reorganized as the Rochester and Syracuse Railroad. The A&N and the SLS&N were reorganized as the Empire State Railway in 1917 after Beebe Syndicate control came to an end. The R&S leased the former A&N starting in 1931 until the end of all service that June.^[2]
