    Description

    The St. Lawrence and Adirondack Railway Company (SL&A) was formed in 1895 by consolidation of two railroads. The line extended from Malone Junction, New York, to Valleyfield, Quebec, Canada and from Beauharnois, Quebec to Adirondack Junction, Quebec. To connect these two portions, a part of the line of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, known as the Beauharnois Junction Railroad was leased in 1996 for ninety-nine years. To secure access to the city of Montreal, trackage rights were acquired from the Canadian Pacific Railway Company over its line between Adirondack Junction and Montreal. The New York Central & Hudson River Railroad acquired the SL&A in 1905. For auction is a rare unissued capital stock certificate from the SL&A from the early 1900s.
