Oneida Railway

The Oneida Railway, an interurban rail, was established in 1907 when the New York Central Railroad electrified 49 miles (79 km) of the West Shore Railroad between Syracuse, New York and Utica, New York. The interurban railroad used nontraditional third-rail pickup for power instead of the typical overhead catenary. In 1909 the system merged with the New York State Railways system which remained in business until 1930. The track was constructed in 1885 as part of the West Shore Railroad and eventually connected Oneida, New York with Syracuse, New York. The Oneida Railway lines came under the control of New York State Railways in 1912, and ended operation in 1930.
