Historical Context

The New York and Ottawa Railroad was chartered on July 22, 1897 to build an extension north from Moira to the St. Lawrence River, where it would connect to the Ottawa and New York Railway. On October 28th, the Northern New York was merged into the New York and Ottawa. The New York & Ottawa acquired the O&NY's stock on June 13, 1898. On September 28th of that year, the line in New York was completed, running to the St. Lawrence River at Rooseveltown. By the time the bridge crossing over the St. Lawrence River was completed, the Black Rapids Branch of the line was abandoned.

An extension south from Tupper Lake was also planned as part of the new line. On April 25, 1895, the Racquette River Railroad was created to build from Tupper Lake to Axton Landing, where the Adirondack Extension Railroad was to build to North Creek. This company went under the New York and Ottawa Railroad control in November 1898. Construction was begun on the south side of Tupper Lake. This southern extension was not finished due to the refusal of the State Forest Preserve to allow the New York and Ottawa Railroad to build in the state owned park, but was likely influenced by the New York Central Railroad, who had an existing line from Herkimer to Malone.

The entire route from Ottawa to Tupper Lake was finally operating on October 1, 1900, which was after the company entered receivership on April 25, 1900. The company was sold to New York Central interests on December 22, 1904 and was renamed to the New York & Ottawa Railway on January 19, 1905. This was followed by the company being leased to the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad on February 1.
