Today's New York, Susquehanna & Western has its roots in a tidewater-to-Great Lakes railroad plan dating to the 1860s. The New Jersey Midland Railway was formed in 1870 as the merger of two existing projects looking to connect industrial Patterson, New Jersey, with the antrhacite fields of eastern Pennsylvania.

After a series of reorganizations and mergers, the New York, Susquehanna & Western emerged in 1882. Through stock purchases, the NYS&W came under control of the Erie Railroad in 1898, and continued to be operated as a subsidiary until 1940. Bankruptcy came to the Susquehanna in 1937, of which it would not emerge until 1953.
