Glenwood is a Hamlet in Erie County, NY. It was a station on the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Railway line between Buffalo and Ashford Junction. A BR&P valuation map (a very detailed map maintained by the railroad) shows the station between the railroad on the west and “Cazenovia Creek Road” (now NY-240) but north of “South Hill Road” (now Murray Hill Road).
I can’t find any photos of it or other information. If you have anything, please email at the address at the bottom of the page.
History
The line between Buffalo and Ashford was built in 1883 by the Rochester and Pittsburgh Railroad and was later operated by the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Railway, and the Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) Railroad. Passenger service on the line ended on 15 October 1955 when the B&O ended its Buffalo – Pittsburgh service. Freight service dwindled over the years and different sections of line were abandoned and removed over the years. As of 2024 only two short segments of the line were still in use – from Buffalo south to Orchard Park and from Ashford north to West Valley.
