The railroad operated by The Owasco River Railway, hereinafter called the carrier, is a single-track standard-gauge steam switching railroad, located at Auburn, N. Y. The owned mileage comprises 0.451 mile of main track and 0.445 mile of yard tracks and sidings, aggregating 0.896 mile of all tracks. The mileage used but not owned is leased from the International Harvester Company of New Jersey, and consists of 1.019 miles of main track and 0.787 mile of yard tracks and sidings, aggregating 1.806 miles of all tracks.

The carrier is a corporation of the State of New York, having its principal office at Chicago, Ill. The accounting records of the carrier for the period prior to July 1, 1906, were incomplete. For that reason only partial Information can be given from the accounts in connection with its financial dealings, corporate operations, or investments. This company is controlled by the International Harvester Corporation through voting power of its capital stock, which is held by certain individuals for the benefit of that company. On the other hand, the records reviewed do not indicate that the carrier itself controls any other common-carrier corporation. The property of the carrier has been operated by its own organization during its entire life.
