The Oswego and Syracuse Railroad was established on April 29, 1839, with the route being surveyed in the summer of that same year. The company achieved full organization on March 25, 1847. The railroad commenced operations on May 14, 1848, covering a total distance of 35.5 miles (57.1 km) from Syracuse, New York, to Oswego, New York. In 1872, it came under the management of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad. Among the oldest remaining railroad structures in New York State is the 1848 freighthouse of the Oswego and Syracuse Railroad, located in Oswego, New York. This building is positioned along West Utica Street, roughly one block west of the former Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad (DL&WRR) depot. For many years, the DL&WRR operated its offices in the Old City Hall of Oswego, a building constructed in 1836 to compete with the Market House in Albany. This three-story brick edifice featured an open third floor that served as drill space for the local militia during the winter months. In 1871, the city erected a new building a few blocks to the south.
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.
