Genesee and Wyoming Railroad
The Genesee and Wyoming Railroad was a short-line railroad owned by Genesee & Wyoming Inc.
The G&W Railroad was the small Western NY salt-hauling railroad that ran between Retsof, New York and Caledonia, New York, only long, and began in 1899. It was the first railroad in today's global G&W corporation "family" of shortlines all over the world. "G&W Orange", that began on the G&W railroad, can today be seen on railroads all over the world.
The Genesee and Wyoming Railroad was absorbed into the Rochester and Southern Railroad system in 2003, but still exists as a non-operating subsidiary of Genesee & Wyoming.
Genesee Street and Wyoming Street in the West Bottoms, the former site of the Kansas City Stockyards are named for the railroad.
