Historical Context
The Greene Railroad was incorporated October 18, 1869, under the general laws of the State of New York for the purpose of constructing a railroad from a point on the Syracuse, Binghamton and New York Railroad, in the town of Chenango Forks, to the village of Greene, about 8 miles.
The road was built by the Lackawanna for account of the Greene Railroad. Construction began in April, 1870, and was completed in December, 1871.
The entire property of the Greene Railroad was leased to the Lackawanna in perpetuity on April 26, 1870.
