"The D.L.& W. railroad began in 1870 and by 1876 the Chenango Canal had lost $6,000,000 and most merchants were using the railroad to ship out their products. In 1877 the Chenango Canal was abolished by the state House Committee on Canals...The railroad may be at its end soon. After the June flood of this year damaged the rail bed, the New York Susquehanna & Western rail service from Chenango Forks to Sherburne has been abandoned and it is not known when it is to be repaired."
