1,000 shares Stock printed by Maverick & Wissinger, N.Y. Certificate #18! On February 4, 1909, the Pine Creek was integrated with various components of the former Fall Brook system, resulting in the establishment of the Geneva, Corning and Southern Railroad, which subsequently merged into the New York Central on December 22, 1914.

The Syracuse, Geneva and Corning Railway was founded in 1875 and commenced operations on December 10, 1877. For a period of 20 years starting in 1881, the company was leased to and managed by the Fall Brook Coal Company. On October 1, 1885, it consolidated with the Penn Yan and New York Railroad Company without changing its name; this company was leased to the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company in 1899. In 1909, the company merged with the Geneva, Corning and Southern Railroad, and again in 1914, it became part of the New York Central Railroad (NYCRR).

A stock certificate is issued by businesses, usually companies. A stock is part of the permanent finance of a business. Normally, they are never repaid, and the investor can recover his/her money only by selling to another investor. Most stocks, or also called shares, earn dividends, at the business's discretion, depending on how well it has traded. A stockholder or shareholder is a part-owner of the business that issued the stock certificates.
