Railroads like Marcellus and Otisco Lake Railway that were started after 1900 will not have as many valuable collectibles or antiques as older lines. Railroads from this period tend to have more items left so collectors have a much easier time finding items like passes, timetables, and manuals. The types of items that will be valuable are typically unique or significant items like builder's plates, daters, sealers, signs, and rarer lanterns.

Marcellus and Otisco Lake Railway only operated in 1 state which is indicative of smaller lines, or in some cases lines in larger states.
