[edit] History notes

NY 26 designated along most of its modern alignment in the 1930 renumbering. An exception is the section between West Carthage and Theresa. The 1930 route was Carthage-Fargo-Antwerp-Theresa, along modern NY 3, US Military Highway (within Fort Drum), and Jefferson CR 194. CR 193 is also an old alignment.

[edit] Route numbers prior to 1930

  • PA-Bouckville (US 20): unnumbered
  • Bouckville-Oriskany Falls (46): 12A
  • Oriskany Falls-Rome (76): 46
  • Rome-Turin (12): unnumbered
  • Turin-Lowville: 12
  • Lowville-West Carthage: 48
  • West Carthage-Great Bend: not shown
  • Great Bend-Evans Mills: not shown
  • Evans Mills-Philadelphia: US 11
  • Philadelphia-Theresa: unnumbered
  • Theresa-Alexandria Bay (3): 48

[edit] Suffixed routes

  • 26A: most of it is now 126, except for the Croghan-Lowville piece (812) - can probably be redirected to 126 once the history is written for that article
  • 26B: short spur near Redwood - best bet is to keep it contained in this article's suffixed route section

I'll do some work on this (both the section here and the history in 126) tomorrow in an attempt to get this AID wrapped up and to keep the line moving. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 08:43, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
