East Salamanca was a major operational hub of the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh Railway, and later the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in Western New York. In its heyday, the BR&P had a large yard, roundhouse, locomotive repair shop, yard office, and passenger station. The photo above shows the size of the yard and associated facilities.
A short branch started at the East Salamanca passenger station and ran into downtown Salamanca where the BR&P had a separate passenger station just to the north of the Erie Railroad main line and near the Erie’s large passenger station. This branch also served some local industries and connected with the Erie.
