The Syracuse and Baldwinsville Railroad was established in 1886 and opened for business in 1887. The line ran a distance of 6 miles (9.7 km) from Baldwinsville to Amboy.[1]
In 1886, Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad (DL&WRR) bought the road and it was renamed to Syracuse and Baldwinsville Railway in 1891. DL&WRR formally abandoned the line in 1897.[2]
