Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia Railway/Railroad History The Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia Railway was formed on April 12, 1871 when the Buffalo and Washington Railway company changed its name.

During it explosive growth by acquisition phase, the BNY&P purchased the Olean, Bradford & Warren Railroad, the McKean & Buffalo Railroad, 16,000 acres of land, and the 121 mile main line of the Western New York & Pennsylvania Railway in Pennsylvania. During 1883 the BNY&P purchased the Kendall & Eldred Railroad, The Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Western Railroad Company, The Olean and Salamanca Railroad Company, Bradford Railroad, Kinzua Railroad, Genesee Valley Canal Railroad, The Oil City and Chicago Railroad Company, and the Rochester, New York & Pennsylvania Railroad.

After this rash of purchases the company was reorganized on February 14, 1883 as the Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia Railroad Company.
