 In January 1860, the A&GW roads announced that they had an agreement to use the C&M to reach Cleveland, even though the latter road still had no connection to any other railroad in the city.The A&GW NY opened between Salamanca and Jamestown in September 1860, and to Corry, Pennsylvania, in May 1861.The outbreak of the Civil War caused funds for construction to dry up, so in August 1861 officials from all three A&GW roads sought out McHenry again.
