1909: The Prospect Park Horse that Decided the Mortal Fate of Patrolman Artemas Fish » NYO&W Railroad
The NYO&W, which ran from Oswego to the terminus at Weehawken, New Jersey (on the site of today’s Port Imperial Ferry Terminal), traversed through Sidney Center via two trestles—one iron and one wooden—that were completed on October 4, 1871. The trains transported milk and farm products, freight, coal, mail and passengers. Service on the O&W continued until March 29, 1957, when the railroad was ordered liquidated by a bankruptcy judge. Today the building that served as both a creamery and the Sydney Center Depot (aka, the Maywood Station) is home to the Maywood Historical Group.
