Pittsburg, Shawmut and Northern Railroad

The Pittsburg, Shawmut & Northern Railroad, also known as the Shawmut Line, was a Class I railroad company formed in 1899 from a merger of five small railroads, running about 190 miles of track through central Pennsylvania and western New York. Financially troubled from the start, it declared bankruptcy after six years and spent 42 of its remaining years in receivership or trusteeship, one of the longest bankruptcy proceedings in American railroading history, before operations ended in 1947.
