Westons Mills (also known as Weston Mills or Weston’s Mills) is a hamlet in Cattaraugus County between Olean and Portville. It was a station on Buffalo Division of the Western New York and Pennsylvania Railway, which later became the Buffalo Line of the Pennsylvania Railroad. It does not appear to have been a station for very long – the only reference I can find to it was an 1891 timetable.
It was also a stop on Olean Street Railway, which combined with Bradford Street Railroad on Nov. 17, 1906 to form the Western New York and Pennsylvania Traction Company electric interurban railroad.
