M J Connor said:
Pittsburg, Shawmut & Northern (note the omission of "h" in Pittsburg
is deliberate) which was orginally the parent, not subsidiary of the
Pittsburg & Shawmut-after 1916 the two were relatively independent of each
other) and its predecessors
Also note, that this corporate separation allowed the Pittsburg & Shawmut to
divert much of its northbound coal traffic from the PS&N, to the Erie.
This became substantial portion of the traffic on the Erie Bradford Division
(and
played a large part in dooming the PS & N to decades of receivership, and
eventual abandonment).
