The Dunkirk, Allegheny Valley and Pittsburgh Railroad is a historic railroad company that operated in Pennsylvania and New York . Chartered in 1867, its first passenger train ran in 1871. After several mergers and name changes, it was leased to the New York Central New York Central and Hudson River RR in 1873 for a term of 501 years. It was later wholly absorbed by the New York Central. Passenger service ceased in 1937. Only a few structures built by the company are extant. Early history Begun as an idea of the businessmen of Warren, Pennsylvania about 1833 to build a railway following the Conewango River valley north toward Lake Erie. The idea produced no action until 1853, when 1700 shares of stock were sold, but it wasn t until the winter of 1866 that several influential men of Chautauqua County, New York started stoking the fires of progress. By April 1867, the New York State Legislature issued a charter for the Dunkirk, Warren & Pittsburgh Railroad Company to sell stock, and on June 17, 1867 that actual work began. The first passenger train ran over the line on June 22, 1871, from Dunkirk, New York to at least Falconer, New York . The Dunkirk, Allegheny sometimes spelled Allegany and Pittsburgh incorporated on December 31, 1872 as a merger of the Dunkirk Warren and Pittsburgh Railway Company, and the Warren and Venango Railroad Company .

Jan or Jean de Reyn was born at Dunkirk about the year 1610, and went when he was young to Antwerp , where he became a scholar of Anthony Van Dyck Van Dyck . Such was his progress under that master, that he was invited to accompany him to England, where he continued to assist him until the death of his illustrious instructor. He afterwards established himself in his native town, where he painted several admirable pictures for the churches, and was much employed as a portrait painter. His principal works for the churches at Dunkirk were the Death of the four Royal Martyrs, for the church of St. Eloi and the Baptism of Totila, for the church of the English convent. There are many of his portraits in private collections, which are little inferior to those of Van Dyck. The principal altar piece in the parochial church of St. Martin, at Bergues Bergues St. Vinox , near Dunkirk, is by this master it represents Herodias bringing the Head of St. John to Herod. De Reyn died at Dunkirk in 1678. The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium Brussels Museum has a Female Portrait by him, dated 1637.
