Historical Context
The Penn Yan & New York Railway was incorporated in 1877 and ran from Penn Yan to Dresden.
The Crooked Lake Canal was abandoned by the state of New York in 1879; by 1884 the right of way had been purchased by a group of Penn Yan businessmen and the new spur erected on the old towpath. This was initially the Penn Yan & New York Railway; later a branch of the Fall Brook, the line terminated at the foot of the lake, where ice cut in the winter and stored in a number of ice houses was used to refrigerate fruit cars.
In 1885, the line was consolidated with the Syracuse, Geneva and Corning Railway, which was then leased to the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad.
