The Auburn Branch


From the Chenango Union of Norwich, NY
Friday, February 5, 1875


   Conductor Baldwin, of the DeRuyter Branch, has frequently since the snow fell, left his passenger coach at the Otselic Station on his way out, rather than draw it through the Crumb Hill drifts -- the few passengers finishing their journey in the postal and express car. One fine morning last week, Jud came down as usual, and was about coupling to the coach when a gentleman informed him that he was the collector of the town, and that he had levied on the coach for unpaid taxes.

   The coach is still there, but Jud makes his passengers comfortable in the express car, and the trains move as usual. Marshal Tucker took the afternoon train for Otselic and DeRuyter on Tuesday. DeRuyter has levied four boxcars; and Plymouth levied upon a box and platform car, but afterwards released them.
