[1] From Jamestown, the route traveled west along the north side of Chautauqua Lake with stops at Greenhurst, Bemus Point, Dewittville, and Mayville.

In the final decades of the JWNW, Mayville was the closest rail point proximate to the resort town of Chautauqua.

[4] A JW&NW schedule from 1941 shows six daily trips from 6am to 9pm, each way, operating three hours apart, to meet NYC passenger trains that stopped at Westfield.

At Mayville, the JW&NW crossed a branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad where interchange tracks allowed PRR lumber and coal setouts to route to Jamestown.

In a 1941 ad, the line offered two-day LCL (Less-than-carload freight) shipping to New York City from Jamestown, and three days to Chicago.

The large red coaches lumbering by at grade crossings were a familiar sight for years at Chautauqua valley villages.

Most interurban lines were abandoned during the 1930s due to increased car ownership and improving highways as well as the financial impact of the Great Depression.
