The Springville and Sardinia Railroad, a 11.57 mile narrow-gauge railroad organized by Springville, New York interests May 6, 1878 from Sardinia Junction with the Pennsylvania Railroad through Sardinia to Springville[1]. It proved to be unprofitable once the Buffalo, Rochester, and Pittsburgh Railway was completed in 1883 and the tracks were pulled up in 1884.[2][3].
