The Syracuse Northwestern Railroad was established in 1874 to construct a railroad from Woodard to Haymarket Square in Syracuse, New York.[1] The company was consolidated under the Syracuse, Phoenix and Oswego Railroad in 1875 and was sold under a judgement in 1885 under the name Syracuse, Phoenix and Oswego Railway.[1]
In 1889, the railroad line merged with Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg Railroad until 1913, when the company became part of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad which was renamed to New York Central Railroad in 1914.
