The Fonda, Johnstown and Gloversville Railroad (FJ&G) was formerly a 132-mile steam engine and electric interurban railroad that connected its namesake towns in east central New York State to Schenectady, New York. It had a successful and profitable transportation business from 1870 until the 1980s carrying workers, salesmen, and executives of the very large number of glove manufacturing companies in the area to the New York Central (NYC) station at Schenectady. From here they could catch trains south to New York City (NYC) or west to Chicago.

has abstract	The Fonda, Johnstown and Gloversville Railroad (FJ&G) was formerly a 132-mile steam engine and electric interurban railroad that connected its namesake towns in east central New York State to Schenectady, New York. It had a successful and profitable transportation business from 1870 until the 1980s carrying workers, salesmen, and executives of the very large number of glove manufacturing companies in the area to the New York Central (NYC) station at Schenectady. From here they could catch trains south to New York City (NYC) or west to Chicago. It also handled freight and had freight interchange with both the New York Central and the Delaware and Hudson railroads. Passenger business declined starting before the Great Depression and particularly during it. Following a determined and expensive effort to recapture passenger business by acquiring five ultra modern high-speed Brill Bullet interurban cars in 1932, the FJ&G abandoned passenger service in 1938. Freight business continued on for a few more decades, was later taken over by the Delaware and Otsego Railroad management and then eventually abandoned.

Utilisant l'électricité et la vapeur, il assura avec succès un transport lucratif dans le centre-est de l'État de New York entre 1905 et la fin des années 1920. Il transportait les ouvriers, les vendeurs et les cadres, travaillant dans les nombreuses manufactures de gants de la région, vers la gare du New York Central Railroad de Schenectady, où il y avait des correspondances vers New York City au sud, ou vers Chicago à l'ouest. Il acheminait aussi du fret avec des connexions vers le New York Central Railroad et le Delaware and Hudson Railroad. La baisse des voyageurs débuta avant la Grande Dépression et se confirma ensuite. Pour inverser la tendance, la compagnie se lança dans un coûteux programme et acheta 5 tram-trains Bullet en 1932, réputés pour leur modernité et leur rapidité; mais le service voyageur fut abandonné en 1936. Le service fret se poursuivit sous la direction du Delaware-Ostego Railroad. (fr)
