The Beach referred to in the title is
Sylvan Beach, New York, a small community located on the eastern shore of Oneida Lake northeast of Syracuse, New York.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the
Coney Island
of Central New York was the summertime destination for crowds of fun seekers from as far away as
Albany, Buffalo
and
Scranton
.
The development and eventual success of Sylvan Beach was due to the
New York & Oswego Midland
(reorganized as the
New York, Ontario & Western
) and, to a lesser degree, the
Lehigh Valley Railroad.
At the height of its popularity,
New York, O
ntario & Western
and
Lehigh Valley Railroad
on-line ridership was augmented by throngs delivered by connections with the New York Central, the West Shore, and the Central's extensive interurban system.
