The history of Edmeston, New York: 1890 through 1899
[edit] 1895
The New Berlin branch of the New York Ontario & Western Railway ran from Cooperstown Junction, (just north of Sidney) to New Berlin. In 1895 the branch was extended north to Edmeston, when the Wharton Valley Railroad agreed to lease the line to the NYO&W. In 1941 the entire New Berlin branch was sold to the Unadilla Valley Railway which ran the branch until 1960 when operations stopped.
