listed as the largest in the state. The Goodyear's employed 2400 men, working 10 hr day. They owned 11 log loaders manufactured by the Marion Steam Shovel Co. (Goodyear owned the patent). Five shay engines moved 207 log cars. One Shay locomotive could handle two log loaders, and about 30 log cars. There were 75 miles (121 km) of logging railroads, which were constantly moved around to uncut parts of the forest. These logging railroads then connected with the Buffalo and Susquehanna Railroad. It was reported in 1898, that the Goodyear's had 10 years worth of timber left. Some of the mills operated 22 hours per day, and used electric lights to keep the men working at night.

The Arcade and Attica Railroad was authorized to acquire the property of the Buffalo and Susquehanna Railway, and other structures and equipment, in the village of Arcade, and lease this property for seven and one half years from the Wellsville and Buffalo Railroad Corporation. The Arcade and Attica Railroad spent $ 46,000 to purchase 2 engines, lease, and to rehabilitate the ex-Buffalo and Susquehanna Railway line. 558: 254: 705:
Cross Fork. In order to obtain the land to build the railroad, some of the properties needed to be condemned. This required that the Potato Creek Railroad be incorporated as a common carrier. In 1912, the Potato Creek line became busier as the Pennsylvania Stave Company was moved from Cross Fork to Betula. The logs were cut in Norwich, and transported to Betula for Stave making. Cut wood was also transported to the Keystone Chemical Company at Keystone. The final product of all of these industries eventually made their way onto the Buffalo and Susquehanna Railroad.

By 1906, the Goodyear brothers (Goodyear Lumber Company, incorporated in Buffalo, New York, in 1902) were now the largest lumber company as a whole, and had the first and second highest producing mills in all of Pennsylvania, with their fourth busiest mill being in Medix Run. The productivity of the Goodyear lumber mills for 1906 is listed below: 35: 1149:
much traffic on these lines anymore. The abandonment posed some interesting questions for the B&O, though, since it separated the B&O ex-B&S line from Sagamore, up though DuBois to Sinnemahoning from the rest of the ex-B&S lines near Galeton. The remaining line from Keating Summit to Austin was already abandoned by this point. The B&O now required the services of the PRR and the Erie to get access to the rest of the ex-Buffalo and Susquehanna lines.

ton of coal was cut in half, from $ 3.75 to $ 1.70. There were too many suppliers producing too much coal. In return, the coal mining companies began to cut wages and production. In retaliation, the head of the Miners Union created "the Jacksonville Agreement" which required that all miners get $ 7.50 per day. By this point, though, many companies just could not pay that, and broke their contracts with the UMWA, which could cause strikes, or worse.
309:. It ran south about 10 miles (16 km) from Wellsville to Hickox (just south of Genesee). It was a small operation with plans of eventually extending south to Coudersport. The WCPC was forced to lease their railroad to the B&S under threat of a parallel track. (the B&S actually started grading a parallel ROW to force the issue) It was leased on January 1, 1896, for 85 years at $ 8250 a year. The B&S acquired their only locomotive. 545:
number was never met. By 1907, the production of the Sagmore mine was quickly catching up to the production of the DuBois mines, both averaging over 500,000 tons per year. Total production for 1907 was listed as almost 1.1 Million tons of coal, which amounted to about 27,500 fully loaded 40-ton coal cars being shipped per year on the Buffalo and Susquehanna Railroad. In 1907 the mine in Medix Run was closed and abandoned.

reported 33 percent of its passenger trains an average of only 8 minutes late. It is easy to see why the Wellsville and Buffalo Railroad could not last very long with these results. As it had no real freight traffic or industries on the line, the passenger traffic was about all there was left, at this point, and with most trains being almost 20 minutes late every day, it never build up a solid, profitable, passenger base.
831:
average profit every year was $ 288,000. In 1908, the first full year of operating the Buffalo extension, the railroad lost $ 593,000. In 1909, the loss was $ 509,000, and in 1910 the loss was over $ 765,000. It was clear to all concerned that the Buffalo and Susquehanna Railway could not survive, that the line to Buffalo was a drain on resources, and that the entire operation had failed.

waterways are now built to sustain. This deluge caused widespread flooding all over the areas. Due to this stationary storm system, major flooding occurred in the Sinnemahoning and Wharton valleys. When the flooding receded, dozens of miles of former Buffalo and Susquehanna track was destroyed in and around Sinnemahoning and Wharton, and the line was out of service in those areas.

company police arrived and removed both furniture and people from their homes. Many small store owners in Sagamore soon declared bankruptcy as old customers disappeared, often leaving unpaid bills behind. Non-union miners, called "scabs" by residents of Sagamore, were brought in by the Buffalo and Susquehanna Coal Company to occupy the evicted houses.

solid Pine and Spruce forests. But with most of the other local competing softwoods forests already denuded, there was now a growing local demand for the cheaper Hemlock. At the same time, the lack of good waterways to float the lumber to the mills made this location less than ideal for standard operations by experienced lumber operators of the time.

tonnage, in their districts. The Sagamore mine reached almost 1.1 Millions tons, while the DuBois mine shipped out almost 661k tons, for a total of 1,750,337 tons of coal. This ranked the Buffalo and Susquehanna Coal and Coke company as the 16th largest coal company in Pennsylvania. The railroad got an estimated 35,000 (50 ton) coal cars to move.

Susquehanna Railroad, extending from the state line to Addison, New York, and the Wellsville Coudersport and Pine Creek Railroad, extending from the state line to Wellsville, New York.

To get here, the railroad had to cross a large ridge. To accomplish this, the railroad built four large switchbacks, instead of tunnels. This may have been acceptable thinking at the time, as the line was still primarily a logging railroad, where switchbacks were quite common. These switchbacks limited trains to 15 cars. 323:, converted from narrow gauge to standard gauge. This simplified interchange and operations in the Galeton area, as the B&S was driving a lot of business in the area, and the Addison and Pennsylvania Railroad was hoping to get a bigger share of the traffic.

The Buffalo extension was a burden, never realizing any earning potential. It is clear from the official reports that from the moment the extension opened it caused great deficits that continued to grow. Even when revenue and tonnage went up, the losses continued to grow. Between 1904 and 1907, the

Dividends were again being issued in the early 1920s, as the Buffalo and Susquehanna Railroad continued to profit greatly from their coal investments. The Sagamore mines had reached their maximum production during World War I, and the coal boom continued into the early 1920s. By that point, roughly

In 1902, Frank Goodyear created the Buffalo and Susquehanna Mining Company, which leased 120 acres (0.49 km) of Iron Ore land in the Mesabi Range, Minnesota, with an estimated 15 Million tons of ore. To get this iron ore from Minnesota to Buffalo, he created the
