 In 1940, the railroad abandoned the section of its line between West Oneonta and Jordanville, Herkimer County.The track ran alongside state routes for most of its length, and the presence of NY 205 and NY 167 was noted as a contributing factor to the line's demise in the railroad's abandonment petition to the Interstate Commerce Commission.On January 1, 1970, NY 205 was officially extended southward to meet I-88 at what is now exit 13.
