Description: 1868-69, New York and Pennsylvania, Unissued Stock. Scarce Green Color. Rare! From the Syracuse University Collection. The idea of constructing a railway along the Conewango River valley from Warren, Pennsylvania, northward toward Lake Erie originated around 1833 among local businessmen. However, no tangible progress was made until 1853, when 1,700 shares of stock were sold. It wasn't until the winter of 1866 that influential figures from Chautauqua County, New York, reignited the project. By April 1867, the New York State Legislature granted a charter for the Dunkirk, Warren & Pittsburgh Railroad Company to sell stock, and construction officially began on June 17, 1867. The first passenger train traveled the line on June 22, 1871, running from Dunkirk, New York, to at least Falconer, New York. On December 31, 1872, the Dunkirk, Allegheny (also spelled "Allegany") and Pittsburgh Railroad was incorporated as a result of the merger between the Dunkirk, Warren and Pittsburgh Railway Company and the Warren and Venango Railroad Company. Just four days later, on January 3, 1873, the DAV&P was leased to the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad for a term of 501 years.
