The New York & Lake Erie (reporting mark NYLE) is a class III railroad operating in Western New York. The NYLE was formed in 1978 to operate a portion of former Erie trackage that Conrail no-longer wanted. Today, the railroad operates between Gowanda to Conewango Valley, New York with a branch between Dayton, New York and Cattaraugus, New York. The NYLE is also the owner and operator of Oil Creek and Titusville Lines, Inc. The NYLE was used as the setting for the railroad scenes in 1987 film Planes, Trains & Automobiles.
