Ohio shortline?

 #19924  by 56-57
 
Hello,

I've been looking for information about a shortline/tourist op. calling itself the PL&W. I believe it stood for Pittsburgh, Lisbon and Western. I saw a picture of a 2-4-0 and some ex CNJ coaches dated 1994 on this line. Is it in fact in Ohio? Or is it in PA? And does it still run.

Any help is appreciated.

Mike

Thanks EL 903! :D

Finding that book right now isn't my biggest priority, but I appreciate the info very much! My main objective is to find out if the CNJ coaches are still around, I'm trying to gather all I can on CNJ equipment that still exists. But, once again, thanks for the help!

Happy fannin'!

Mike
