Historical Context
The West Shore and Ontario Terminal Company was incorporated on March 22, 1871, by special act of New Jersey as The Open Cut and General Storehouse Company. By certificate filed June 20, 1883 in New Jersey, authority was obtained to change its name to West Shore and Ontario Terminal Company.
On July 9, 1901, the company was merged with West Shore Railroad Company.
The property of this company was operated under lease, jointly by the New York, Ontario and Western Railway Company and the New York, West Shore and Buffalo Railway Company and its receiver, from October 24, 1882, to November 23, 1885. From November 23, 1885, to June 16, 1886, the property was operated by a receiver, and from the latter date to the date of merger, it was operated under lease by The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company.
The property owned by the West Shore and Ontario Terminal Company on the date of merger consisted of terminals, sidetracks, grain elevator, freight houses, piers, and wharves at Weehawken, New Jersey.
