Northern Central Railway

constructing their lines, the company’s strategy was to build lightly and quickly in order to begin generating income as soon as possible—the directors had seen the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad slowed down by expensive stone trackbed and bridges and wanted to avoid those problems. But as their business grew they purchased and hauled increasingly heavy equipment; in 1851, for example, they bought the first of nineteen 0-8-0 “Camel” locomotives, which were powerful, but quite large and heavy. Almost every bridge had to be rebuilt, tight curves had to be straightened out, and miles of original wooden rails covered with strap iron had to be replaced with “T”-shaped rails of rolled iron made in England. Rail replacement began in 1852, and by 1854 a good portion of the tracks on the main route between Baltimore and Lemoyne had been upgraded, with yet more financial support from the Maryland legislature. Work on replacing the bridges would go on for several more years.

Baltimore and Susquehanna company loaned money to build the new line, starting from York in 1838 and reaching Wrightsville in 1840. Similarly, the WY&G used its own stock to cover its debt to the B&S, with a similar result: beginning in 1839, the Baltimore & Susquehanna Railroad controlled the Wrightsville, York, & Gettysburg. The new line from York to Wrightsville completed the original plan to create easy transportation of goods from the Susquehanna River to Baltimore—a plan which greatly succeeded, to the dismay of many officials in Pennsylvania, but to the profit of Wrightsville and all the other towns along the B&S route, including Baltimore itself. However, expenses continued for the B&S, with the purchase of eleven locomotives from 1837-1839, moving from the single

2117:. Like the other new railroads, its initial stock did not sell well, so the Baltimore and Susquehanna Railroad and the York and Cumberland loaned significant amounts to the SRR in exchange for stock in the new company. In 1852 and 1853 the Pennsylvania legislature authorized the York & Cumberland Railroad, the Wrightsville, York, and Gettysburg line, and/or the York and Maryland Line, separately or together, to subscribe or loan up to $ 500,000 to the capital-starved Susquehanna Railroad, and to permit the counties and boroughs along the way to contribute funds. The cap on loans and investments was lifted later that same year, and Baltimore committed to supporting the railroad, so initial construction got underway. 2081:. The Y&C had trouble raising enough money within the state of Pennsylvania to begin construction, so its stock was made available on the open market. Investors in Baltimore purchased over $ 700,000 in Y&C stocks and bonds, most of which were then sold to the Baltimore & Susquehanna Company. Once again, the B&S had financial control of a separate but extending railroad company; “Articles of Agreement” drawn up and signed on January 21, 1850, gave the Baltimore & Susquehanna outright operational control of the York and Cumberland Railroad. Beginning that year, track was laid north from York to the Susquehanna River at York Haven, and then along the river to meet the Cumberland Valley Railroad at 1841: 2329:, president of the rival Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, had slowly been purchasing significant amounts of stock in the Northern Central, but shortly after Lincoln’s election, in early 1861, he dumped his NCRY stock. The Pennsylvania Railroad and Simon Cameron jumped at the chance to pick it up. PRR president Thomson individually purchased what amounted to just over 28% of the NCRY’s total stock. The Pennsylvania Railroad company also purchased some of Garrett’s stock, which was eventually combined with Thomson’s shares. In 1863, another 2500 NCRY shares became available on the stock market in London, which the PRR also purchased, gaining a controlling interest of 33.79% of all NCRY stock. 2161:(WM). Once the Baltimore and Susquehanna Company bargained their way across the Pennsylvania-Maryland border and linked with the York and Maryland Line Railroad, they stopped maintaining the Green Spring Branch. The track deteriorated, to the point where it could be used only by horse-drawn trains, and only in the summer. However, towns on the originally planned route to Westminster had expected and wanted railroad service. At their request, in 1846 the Maryland legislature authorized the B&S “or any new company organized to do the work” to repair the tracks from Relay to Owings Mills. Eventually this resulted in the formation of the 1859:. Construction had not been easy—the terrain north and west of Baltimore and Philadelphia presented significant challenges for building railroads. The only routes open to them were along fast-moving streams (called “Falls” because the whole stream was rapid) twisting through narrow valleys. Jones Falls provided a more open valley than some, but to create a workable grade the track still had to cross the stream frequently, with many curves and climbing stretches in between—Robert Gunnarsson reports that the B&S route eventually averaged about two bridges for every mile of track. 2541: 2774: 2892: 1980:

charge stated that the Y&ML would construct a railroad from York to the border with Maryland, it made no further stipulations, which meant anyone could use the tracks. The company had initially been capitalized at just $ 200,000, far less than would realistically be needed, and they also had trouble raising money. The Y&ML didn’t have enough funds to start construction until 1837—i.e., when the Baltimore and Susquehanna itself reached the state line, and then continued into Pennsylvania.

use their own freight cars, which the B&S would then have to move at a rate lower than its own freight costs. Early investors had been disappointed by minimal returns on their investments, so people were reluctant to spend money on further railroad stock. But the State of Maryland and the City of Baltimore both gave their support, purchasing close to half of the $ 450,000 in shares that the B&S did sell over the next few years, and loaning the railroad a combined total of $ 2.7 million.

He was not very secretive in his dealings, and by January 1862 he was removed from office in the wake of significant allegations of fraud and corruption. But the War Department business had given the Northern Central enough cash to stop the state of Maryland’s second attempt at foreclosure in 1861, and even to pay off that debt completely in 1862.

The new railroad’s charter also mandated that its whole length would have two sets of tracks – the need for which had been horrifically demonstrated on July 4, 1854, when a holiday excursion train collided head-on with a York local, killing thirty-five people and injuring over a hundred others.

a consolidation of the Baltimore & Susquehanna Railroad, the York & Maryland Line, the York & Cumberland Railroad, and the Susquehanna Railroad. Maryland converted the railroads’ debts to a single mortgage that required annual payments of $ 90,000, though if the new company could pay $ 1,500,000 over a ten-year period that would satisfy the full loan. Articles of Union were finalized on December 4, 1854, and filed in both states, creating the

was narrowly avoided only by a loan of $ 120,000 from the private company of the NCRY’s own president, John S. Gittings. The state moved again to foreclose in 1861, but it was at that point that the Pennsylvania Railroad stepped in and acquired a controlling interest in the Northern Central's stock. Thereafter, the Northern Central operated as a subsidiary of the Pennsylvania Railroad until the latter's demise in the late 20th century.

pull the cars rather than using horses. Beginning in 1850 the B&S had purchased parcels of land in the Canton area, on the northeast side of the harbor, and began extending their track to that area. However, several lawsuits and then an injunction requested by the Baltimore and Ohio put a stop to that line—the Canton harbor project had to be abandoned, and the B&S had to continue using horses to move freight to the City Dock.

Maryland wanted railroad access to the Susquehanna River, the Maryland legislature would have to approve completion of a canal from Chesapeake Bay to the navigable portion of the river. Maryland had wanted just such a canal for over 20 years, and they readily agreed. However, Pennsylvania lawmakers still wanted any railroad operating in the state to be a Pennsylvania-based firm. The result was the incorporation of a new company, the

that the B&S owed the state of Maryland was $ 113,000, but the railroad could only pay $ 40,000 annually. In addition, the B&S was continually hampered by having to pull customers’ privately owned freight cars at rates below cost. So they looked farther north, to the rich coal fields of central Pennsylvania, hoping to increase revenues by extending their lines north of the York and Cumberland Railroad.

As former president of the Susquehanna Railroad, Simon Cameron was already a major stockholder in the Northern Central. A corrupt but powerful politician and businessman, he owned the company that built the line from Harrisburg to Sunbury. 1960:. The company also gained rail access to Baltimore Harbor by cooperating with the Baltimore and Ohio to construct a jointly owned track connecting Bolton Yard to the B&O line at Pratt Street, with permission to use the B&O's harbor freight terminals. Because much of the harbor line ran on city streets, however, a city ordinance allowed only the use of horses to pull freight cars to the harbor. 2281:

Throughout 1858, the remaining wood and strap-iron rails on the main line had to be replaced with rolled-iron “T” rails, though it would take years before all the sidings and freight yards had been upgraded. The bridge-building project started by the Baltimore and Susquehanna had never been completed, so between 1855 and 1859 more than 75 bridges also had to be replaced.
