About this book
The Story of the Rome, Watertown, and Ogdensburg Railroad is a book by Edward Hungerford. The contents list names chapters titled The Coming of the Watertown & Rome, The Potsdam & Watertown Railroad and The Formation of the R. W. & O., among others.
The text says that the completion in 1829 of the first Welland Canal began to turn a really huge tide of traffic from Lake Erie into Lake Ontario. The text says steamboat travel was hardly to be relied upon in a country which suffers so rigorous a winter climate as that of Northern New York, and highway travel in the bitter months between November and April was hardly better. An elderly citizen of Ogdensburgh says it was a nightly occasion for the R. W. & O. train to come in from DeKalb with more than half of its journals ablaze.
