When I was a child, I played Monopoly with my mother. I won every time because I played dirty. Every time she got up to go to the kitchen, I took some of her money & some of her properties. In monopoly, you could buy train stations, hotels, houses etc. I didn’t care much for the game, I just wanted to own as much as I could. What I’m about to tell you reminds me of that.

I wag , you wag we all wag together

The Wellsville, Addison & Galeton Railroad, or WAG for short (owing to the tanneries it originally served, it was dubbed “The Sole Leather Line“), was a short line that operated from the late 1950s to the early 1960s. It began operations courtesy of the Baltimore & Ohio, which needed to get rid of predecessor trackage in upstate Pennsylvania and southern New York that had just been damaged by flooding and was no longer connected to the rest of the system.

Furthermore, several of the lines were a logistical nightmare due to their extraordinarily steep gradients and tight turns. The WAG was given light steam locomotives as original power but quickly switched to small diesel instead with its largest power being late model Electro-Motive covered wagons. Unfortunately, the WAG was never particularly profitable, despite being a nice, bucolic line. This was exacerbated by repeated floods throughout the years, as well as customers who began to abandon the line not long after it reopened. It ceased operations in the late 1970s after a valiant effort.

The Wellsville, Addison, and Galeton Railroad has a history that can be traced back to a businessman named Frank H. Goodyear. In the 1880s, he began purchasing enormous areas of land in northern Pennsylvania and southern New York to transport coal, lumber, and other goods to his Buffalo businesses.

He first established the Sinnemahoning Valley Railroad, which ran from Keating Summit to Austin, Pennsylvania, where he had a sawmill (one of many) that opened in December 1885.

He first established the Sinnemahoning Valley Railroad, which ran from Keating Summit to Austin, Pennsylvania, where he had a sawmill (one of many) that opened in December 1885. The Susquehanna Railroad, Cherry Springs Railroad, Coudersport & Wellsboro Railroad, and Cross Fork Railroad were among the lines he and his brother would eventually buy or charter. In 1893, these lines were renamed the Buffalo & Susquehanna Railroad. Sinnemahoning, Keating Summit, Oleona, Wharton, and Galeton were all served by the new B&S.

In 1895, the railroad was expanded from Galeton to Wellsville, where it linked with the Erie Railroad, and the 10-mile Wellsville, Coudersport & Pine Creek Railroad was purchased and extended to Hikcox.
