The balance of the trackage, from Newberry Junction (near Williamsport) to Jersey Shore Junction and northward into New York State was the Fall Brook District. Coal from the Clearfield District moved to Newberry where it was interchanged with the Reading Railroad for forwarding to tidewater, or continued northward into New York for other coal users in the East. The output of the Clearfield Bituminous Coal Corporation mines was used for company supply coal by the New York Central's Lines East (of Buffalo).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Beech Creek was leased by the New York Central \u0026amp; Hudson River Railroad Company on December 15, 1890, retroactive to October 1, 1890, for 999 years. For almost another ten years the Beech Creek continued to operate independently of the NYC\u0026amp;HR. On July 1, 1899 the Beech Creek's independent operation ended, and it became part of the NYC\u0026amp;HR's Beech Creek District of the Pennsylvania Division. The New York Central, successor to the New York Central \u0026amp; Hudson River Railroad, continued to lease the Beech Creek for decades to come. Not until May, 1948 did the NYC move to acquire control of the Beech Creek through stock ownership. Despite the NYC's control of as much as 79 per cent of the Beech Creek's stock, the lease relationship continued.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe New York Central merged with its archrival, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, in 1968 to form the Penn Central. Just two years later the PC declared bankruptcy paving the way for the arrival of Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail) in 1976.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/beech-creek-railroad\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWBeechCreekRR.png?v=1700657185\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/railroad\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWRailroad.png?v=1697043934\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/pennsylvania-railroads\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWPennsylvaniaRailroads.png?v=1697373242\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/new-york-railroads\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWNewYorkRailroads.png?v=1696073182\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/beech-creek-clearfield-south-western-rail-road\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWBeechCreekClearfieldSouthWesternRR_480x480.png?v=1703184309\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/reading-railroad\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"120\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWReadingRR.png?v=1697374646\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/new-york-central-railroad\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWNewYorkCentralRR.png?v=1696098604\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/new-york-central-and-hudson-river-railroad\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWNYCHRRR.png?v=1696098571\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/pennsylvania-railroad\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWPennsylvaniaRR.png?v=1696090674\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/pennsylvania\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNewPennsylvania.png?v=1695911920\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/new-york\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconNEWNewYork.png?v=1696003612\" width=\"130\" height=\"120\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ghosts of Wall Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48816265625848,"sku":"702bulk","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/702or_74758a8a-7e4d-43da-9d95-6ccad22d219d.png?v=1780570006","url":"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/products\/beech-creek-railroad-company-lot-of-5-pieces","provider":"Ghosts of Wall Street","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
