History
The line through Farmersville was completed in 1878 by the Rochester and State Line Railroad. The line was later operated by the Rochester and Pittsburgh Railroad (1881-1887), the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Railway (1887-1932) and the Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) Railroad (1932-1986). In 1986 the B&O sold their operations in Western New York to the Genesee and Wyoming Railroad, which split it into two companies. The Rochester and Southern Railroad operated the former B&O line between Rochester and Salamanca. The R&S later abandoned the portion of the line between Silver Springs and Machias, NY.
