The Western New York and Pennsylvania Railway (earlier, the Western New York and Pennsylvania Railroad) was a railroad that operated independently from 1887 to 1900 in the U.S. states of New York and Pennsylvania.
The Western New York and Pennsylvania Railroad was incorporated in 1887 from the reorganization of the Buffalo, New York, and Philadelphia Railroad. It was reorganized in 1895 as the Western New York and Pennsylvania Railway. In 1900, it was acquired and leased by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1900. It was merged into the Penndel Company in 1955.
