Historical Context
In 1881, the Ohio River & Lake Erie Railroad Company was formed in Ohio, with the intention of building a railroad on the Erie Extension Canal towpath. But, before construction could be started, property rights and franchises were sold to satisfy it's creditors.
A sheriff's sale was held in 1886. The purchaser was Ms. Sarah Reed, sister of W. W. Reed, an Erie businessman and member of Congress, who had owned the Canal Right of Way.
The company was reorganized in 1887 as the Erie, Shenango & Pittsburg Railway Company.
