     STREETER & the New York & Pennsylvania Railroad

     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.

     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.
