Stock printed by Broun-Green Co. Certificate #2! Only 2 were fully issued. The New York and Ottawa Railway served as a transportation link between Tupper Lake in northeastern New York and Ottawa, Ontario, passing through Ramsayville, Russell, Embrun, Finch, and Cornwall. Although it was acquired by the New York Central Railroad system in 1913, it had been under the ownership of the larger company since late 1904. Initially established as the Northern Adirondack Railroad, it underwent several transformations, becoming the Northern New York Railroad, then the New York and Ottawa Railroad, and ultimately being referred to as the New York and Ottawa Railway before its merger into the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad.
