New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway

The New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway is an American Class II freight railway operating more than 400 miles of track across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. It was formed on June 17, 1881, through the consolidation of six smaller railroad companies, originally to carry anthracite coal out of Pennsylvania's Wyoming Valley. The railway later carried passengers through the mid twentieth century before returning to freight operations. It went through bankruptcy in the 1970s and was revived after the Delaware Otsego Corporation acquired it in 1980, later adding a northern division serving Utica and Syracuse. Headquartered in Cooperstown, New York, it still connects Jersey City to Binghamton and interchanges with CSX and Norfolk Southern.
