Excerpt: The Lyons Trolley Station, located at 1 Montezuma Street, in Lyons, New York, was built as a combined passenger and freight station for the Rochester, Syracuse & Eastern Railroad(RS&E), an electric trolley car service from Rochester to Syracuse, in December, 1922. However, the RS&E had been running through Lyons since 1905, when the trolley line first started service. Prior to the building of a dedicated trolley station in Lyons, the RS&E used a rented storefront on Williams Street (possibly #30) as its passenger station.
