Take a piece of New York and New Jersey rail history along with this West Shore Railroad backpack. The predecessor railway built a 435-mile trunk route from Weehawken north beside the Hudson River to Albany, then west to Buffalo. Reorganized in 1885 and merged into New York Central in 1952, the line reflects the competition and corporate shifts that shaped American rail travel. A distinctive choice for students, day trips, and railroad enthusiasts who appreciate the enduring story behind a historic freight route.
The West Shore Railroad operated in New York and New Jersey from 1885 to 1952. Its oldest original component dates to 1866, and several predecessor lines and trackage rights helped shape the route. The New York, West Shore and Buffalo Railway was incorporated in 1880 to compete with the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad. Between 1881 and 1883, it built a 435-mile trunk line from Weehawken, New Jersey, north along the west side of the Hudson River to Albany, then west to Buffalo. A contest over the route between the New York Central and Pennsylvania Railroad was settled through a deal brokered by financier J. P. Morgan. The railway was reorganized under New York Central control as the West Shore Railroad on December 5, 1885. Its straighter sections were used for through freight. On June 20, 1952, it was formally merged into the New York Central Railroad. Passenger service later ended on portions of the route, and the line passed through Penn Central and Conrail before most of it became part of CSX in 1999, operating as the River Subdivision.
