O&W Railway Historical Society to present history of Norwich railroads
NORWICH – The Ontario and Western (O&W) Railway Historical Society will be coming to the Chenango County Historical Society (CCHS) Museum to hold a presentation about the history of railroads in Norwich. The presentation will begin at 1 p.m. on Saturday, September 17, and will be open to the public.
According to CCHS Executive Director Sarah Mahan, at one point Norwich had several important functions on the New York O&W Railway. The railroad’s Northern Division repair shops were located in Norwich, where they would repair rolling stock and locomotives up until the railroad’s demise in 1957.
Mahan says locomotives were serviced in Norwich and trains were broken up, made up, and dispatched from the large yard where several major industries were served at that time. The railroad also maintained an active interchange with the Lackawanna Railroad, and for a short time, a branch even existed which originated in Norwich. For more information on Norwich’s role in the O&W Railway, stop on down to the presentation this weekend.
The CCHS and the O&W Railway Historical Society encourage all those who attend the presentation to plan extra time to tour the CCHS Museum, as well as the Bullthistle Model Railroad Society, and the Northeast Classic Car Museum positioned nearby.
The Chenango County Historical Society Museum is located at 45 Rexford Street in Norwich.
