The Pittsburg, Shawmut & Northern Railroad was formed from the merger of five small railroads in New York and Pennsylvania in 1899. It declared bankruptcy in 1905, but continued to operate in receivership until 1946, when its bankruptcy was converted to a trusteeship. It ceased to operate in April 1947.
