North Shore Railroad System
The North Shore Railroad System in the United States includes the following short lines:[1]
- Juniata Valley Railroad (JVRR)*
- Lycoming Valley Railroad (LVRR)*
- Nittany and Bald Eagle Railroad (NBER)*
- North Shore Railroad (NSHR)*
- Shamokin Valley Railroad (SVRR)*
- Union County Industrial Railroad (UCIR)
The first five railroads (those marked with an asterisk) are owned by SEDA-COG JRA (Susquehanna Economic Development Association - Council of Governments Joint Rail Authority) and operated under contract by Robey Railroads, a private company. Robey Railroads also operates another railroad (UCIR). As of 2006, there are plans by Robey to consolidate these seven lines as the Susquehanna Railroad Corporation, a non-operating holding company.
The current president and CEO is Gary Shields.[2]
The corporate offices are located in Northumberland, Pennsylvania.[3] There are connections to the Norfolk Southern Railway line at Lewistown, as well as an indirect connection to Canadian Pacific Railway service.
