PIETRAK Paul; North Boston, NY, USA; 1900s
Paul Pietrak authored "The Coudersport & Port Allegany [Railroad]
and the New York & Pennsylvania [Railroad]" (North Boston, New
York: Paul Pietrak, 1972). I would like to make contact with him,
his heirs, or other associates. I could not find him using any of
the standard search tools on the Web.
Ultimately, I am seeking original timetables, route maps, or any
other railroadiana from the New York & Pennsylvania Railroad that
includes a stop called "Streeters." The NYP (pronounced NIP)
operated from approximately 1895 until 1935.
The "Streeters" stop was located on the Streeter family farm (est.
1875), which is located between Greenwood and Canisteo, Steuben
County, New York. After the turn of the century, this same stop
became known as "Nortons," in reference to nearby Norton Hollow.
For your reference, I have included some extracts from Paul
Pietrak's book, "The Coudersport & Port Allegany [Railroad] and the
New York & Pennsylvania [Railroad]" (North Boston, New York: Paul
Pietrak, 1972).
The New York & Pennsylvania started at a junction with the
Erie Railroad in Canisteo, New York and ran southwest into
Pennsylvania, sweeping down into Potter County along the
Oswayo Valley then up again entering New York State at Ceres.
