Fishers and the Auburn - Rochester RR

Took the Auburn Trail into Historic Fishers this morning. This where the RR started in 1840 and was later sold to the NY Central.


The pump house is interesting because the early trains couldn't go more that about 30 miles without taking on water, but had coal for long than that. So the pump house was very important
This one had an underchute water wheel to power the pump using the nearby creek as the water supply.
