The Genesee and Wyoming Railroad (reporting mark GNWR) was a short-line railroad owned by Genesee & Wyoming Inc.


The G&W Railroad was the small Western NY salt-hauling railroad that ran between Retsof, New York and Caledonia, New York, only 14.5 miles (23.3 km) long, and began in 1899.[1] It was the first railroad in today's global G&W corporation "family" of shortlines all over the world. "G&W Orange", that began on the G&W railroad, can today be seen on railroads all over the world.


The Genesee and Wyoming Railroad was absorbed into the Rochester and Southern Railroad system in 2003, but still exists as a non-operating subsidiary of Genesee & Wyoming.[1]


Geneseee Street and Wyoming Street in the West Bottoms, the former site of the Kansas City Stockyards are named for the railroad.
