History

The Rochester and Pittsburgh Railroad was a short-lived predecessor of the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh Railway. It was incorporated on January 29, 1881 from the assets of the former Rochester & State Line Railroad. By 1885 the Rochester and Pittsburgh was bankrupt and on October 16, 1885 it was purchased by Adrian Iselin, one of the Directors of the R&P. The company was broken into the Pittsburgh & State Line Railroad Company, which operated in Pennsylvania, and the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh Railroad Company which operated the New York sections.
