Re: Leicester (was: (erielack) Wilseyville, then, Willseyville, later
Gentlemen..
Leicester, New York, is just a few miles north of Mt. Morris, well west of there
on the Main line to Buffalo. When I was in Jr. High, we went on a field trip to
collect fossils in Leicester. The fossil bed was on the side of a rock cut that
was right next to...the old DL&W main that was still active as a branch down to
Groveland. Now, what do you think the railroad would say today about having 50
or so 12 year olds wandering around on the side of the tracks looking for
fossils? We didn't see any trains that day, unfortunately. It would have been
much more fun than looking for trilobytes (sp?).

That's what the OG says, too -- no typo there.

The April 1960 DL&W ETT refers to it as Leicester. Could it be a typo in the
OG?

In the Official Guide of the Railways for December, 1957, Leicester, NY, is
shown as on the DL&W but not on the timetables, freight service only. Is
"Lestershire" a railroad corruption, such as "Peterboro" for "Peterborough?"

It is obvious to all the readers where "Lestershire" was?
First right answer gets my sincere admiration and congratulations!
