Handtekeningen origineel. Ondertekend door William K. Vanderbilt en Chauncey W. DePew. www.coxrail.com: PIN-414-B-50 The Pine Creek Railway was originally incorporated as the Jersey Shore, Pine Creek and Buffalo Railway Company. The Jersey Shore, Pine Creek and Buffalo Railroad began in 1883 by carrying timber to the sawmills in Tiadaghton, Cammal, and Slate Run. The railroad also transported coal north to New York State and vast amounts of hemlock bark to several local tanneries for use in the leather industry. By 1896, the railroad was carrying seven million tons of freight and three passenger trains on daily runs between Wellsboro Junction and Williamsport. On February 4, 1909, the Pine Creek Railway was consolidated with the Syracuse Geneva and Corning Railway Company and the Fall Brook Railway Company to form the Geneva Corning and Southern Railroad Company.
