The Rochester and Lake Ontario Railroad a railway company in the United States. It was incorporated in 1852 and completed a line between Rochester, New York, and Charlotte, New York, on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, in 1853. It was leased by the Rochester, Lockport and Niagara Falls Railroad that same year and merged into the first New York Central Railroad in 1855. Its line, known variously as the Charlotte Branch or Charlotte Running Truck, is now owned by the CSX Corporation and remains extant.
