Cincinnatus New York Cortland County Railroad Depot Station Stage Real Photo Postcard

The Lackawanna Station in Cincinnatus, New York, served the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad (DL&W), a prominent Class I railroad in the Northeastern United States. The station was part of the DL&W's Richfield Branch, which began operations in 1899, connecting smaller communities like Cincinnatus to the larger rail network. These rural depots were essential hubs for passenger travel, mail delivery, and the transport of freight, including agricultural products and local goods, reflecting the economic lifeline railroads provided to towns in the early 20th century.
