Originally named the New York and Erie Railroad, the company was created in April, 1832, with it's charter boundaries from the banks of the Hudson River to the shores of Lake Erie. This line was completed in 1851 between Piermont and Dunkirk via Little Valley, Cattaraugus and Dayton.
The name was changed in 1861 to the Erie Railway. On April 24, 1875 the bankrupt Erie Railway was sold for six million dollars and the entire property was transferred to the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railway. In May 1893 the NYLE&W went into bankruptcy again and was reorganized in 1895 as the Erie Railroad Company.
On October 17, 1960 the Erie Railroad and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad merged to form the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad. The Erie Lackawanna Railway was formed March 1, 1968 as a subsidiary of Dereco, the holding company of the Norfolk and Western Railway. It was merged into the Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail) on April 1, 1976.
With the advent of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, the Baldwin Locomotive Works was forced to stop shipment of over 100 2-10-0 locomotives originally bound for Czarist Russia. These “orphan” locomotives later found homes with American railroad companies and helped relieve a scarcity of motive power following World War I.
