History
This company and its line were acquired by the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, a predecessor of the Reading Company, on March 20, 1858, which put the company in direct competition with the Pennsylvania Railroad for the Philadelphia to Harrisburg route.
The line now belongs to Norfolk Southern Railway and is part of its Harrisburg Line which runs between Harrisburg and Philadelphia.
