The Rochester, Syracuse, and Eastern Railroad, an interurban rail, began operations in 1906 and linked Rochester, New York, with the nearby towns of Newark, Egypt, Fairport and Palmyra. At its peak the railroad was 87 miles (140 km) in length and employed steel catenary bridges over much of the line to support the trolley wire. The railroad was owned by the Beebe Syndicate, and was the only one of its properties that was designed and constructed by the management group.
