     A convention was held in Fredonia, New York during 1831 to arrange to build a railroad from Erie to Buffalo.   Erie County's first railroad was completed on January 10, 1852 from Erie to the New York state line where it connected with the Buffalo and State Line Railroad.   Another convention was held in Owego, New York on December 20, 1831which led to the birth of the Erie Railroad that would later serve northwestern Pennsylvania and southwestern New York.    People love trains, and All Seasons Marketplace is a great place to get on track this Christmas season and through out the year for a great shopping experience.
