Historical Context
The Cayadutta Electric Railroad was incorporated in New York in 1891.
By 1893, when the line officially opened, it was now not only a direct competitor to the previously established Fonda, Johnstown & Gloversville Railroad but also boasted a shorter route between Fonda, Johnstown, and Gloversville (albeit via steeper grades).
In 1902 a merger of the Cayadutta Electric, FJ&G, and Amsterdam Street Railroad took place using the Fonda, Johnstown and Gloversville Railroad name.
The latter road tied in to the Cayadutta Electric at Sulphur Springs Junction (near Johnstown) and continued southeastward along the Mohawk River to Schenectady roughly paralleling the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad's main line.
